Indigenous women from across the Pacific have a voice in this book. Zohl de Ishtar travelled the Pacific during 1986-87 on behalf of Women Working for a Nuclear Free and Independent Pacific and interviewed women of many nations. Following up with extensive research, the author has written a book that gives a voice to Pacific women and shows just what strength there is in these underknown cultures. The nuclear industry, tourism, dumping of waste, pollution of the oceans all carry a huge price for these islands on the rim of the world, and on the rim of our imaginations. Countries covered are: Hawai'i, the Marshall Islands, the Northern Marianas, Guam, Belau, Fiji, Australia, Aotearoa/New Zealand and Te Ao Maohi/Tahiti-Polynesia.
