"Women's role in land matters was generally second to that of their menfolk - even in traditionally matrilineal societies. Christianity, commerce and centralized governmment led to some changes and further adaptation is in progress. This book of studies by women from two Melanesia societies (Fiji and Vanuatu) and three Polynesian (Tonga, Samoa and the Cook Islands) is the first to focus on this topic of growing importance to Pacific women."--Back cover.

This influential study of land tenure in Fiji offers a detailed examination of the complex social and economic systems that governed land use and ownership in the island nation during the colonial period. Drawing on extensive research and firsthand observation, the author provides readers with a nuanced and insightful view of the ways in which Fijian society and culture were shaped by the land itself.

Land tenure arrangements are intimately linked with the organization of society, the economy, political structures and geography. In the South Pacific Islands the majority of land is held by community groups under 'customary' or 'traditional' forms of tenure. This book argues that land formerly held in common is now often controlled and used exclusively by individuals or nuclear families - it is being privatized. Detailed case studies demonstrate these trends in Western Samoa, Tonga, Vanuatu and Fiji. Parallels are noted from Asia, Europe and Africa, where comparable forces of commercialization, individualization and socio-political change have brought comparable results. The denial of these trends by policy makers in the region reflects an interest in maintaining the image of traditionalism and its associated status and power. The divergence between rhetoric and reality creates dilemmas for many Pacific Islanders and their leaders.

This work offers an analysis of the Western formal system of private property and its moral justification and explains the relevance of the institution to particular current issues that face aboriginal peoples and the developing world. The subjects under study include broadly: aboriginal land claims; third world development; intellectual property rights and the relatively recent TRIPs agreement (Trade related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights). Within these broad areas we highlight the following concerns: the maintenance of cultural integrity; group autonomy; economic benefit; access to health care; biodiversity; biopiracy and even the independence of the recently emerged third world nation states. Despite certain apparent advantages from embracing the Western institution of private ownership, the text explains that the Western institution of private property is undergoing a fundamental redefinition through the expansion.
