Today, the Pacific islands reflect the best and worst in western society. On the one hand are the bravery and persistence of early European navigators, missionaries, and government officers; the early, well-meaning efforts by many westerners to help the islanders become 'civilized'; the assistance readily given in times of natural disasters; and the grants and concessional loans to help Pacific countries develop into independent economic entities,...
