Title: FAQ: Twilight of Pacific Colonialism | Book
Post by: Erik on July 21, 2010, 10:49:01 AM
Last year in 2009 this book was released.
Twilight of Pacific Colonialism; by Gordon W. Groves (http://www.borders.com/online/store/TitleDetail?sku=0533160073)

In the book, Gordon talks about his visits to the island, his older brother going to school on Nikumororo, and among other strange happenings including turtle feasts and a murder by knife on nearby Orona. 

Has Gordon been interviewed?  Perhaps he could provide additional insights....

I was given Groves' name and address by folks in Fiji in 2003.  I think I wrote him but got no reply.

I still have his address and phone number.  I won't post them in this public forum.  If anyone wants to try following up, send me an e-mail:moleski@canisius.edu
