Pasefika Books At Manukau Libraries

Fiji: An Encyclopaedic Atlas
C Walsh

The book provides many areas of common and uncommon interests and would help anyone who wish to know about religious ideas, the status and contribution of ethinc groups, or vital issues related to development such as Fiji's physical geography, the location and extent of infrastructure, agriculture and other resources; politics and matters of governance, population change, health, housing, education; the status of women and factors which create poverty and see things about Fiji in new and different ways.

Skin Stories (DVD)
Omori & Altieri

Skin Stories explores the transformative power of an art inscribed on the body - as a way to honour the past, explore ones inner self, and to preserve a culture for the future.
Skin Stories is an anthology of stories and stunning images gathered from the hot spots of the Pacific tattoo: from the steaming landscape of Rotorua to the vibrant gathering of the first international tattoo convention in Apia, Samoa, from the terraced, lush taro fields of Maui to the golden beaches of O'ahu and California.



Manihiki: Our Paradise
Renee Hollis

The photography book Manihiki Island Our Paradise is a celebration of culture and tradition. It contains over 300 photographs of its beautiful people, the stunning lagoon, black pearls farming, seafood, fishing, religion, craft and much more.
Manihiki Island Our Paradise has made history by being the first photography book produced on the island of Manihiki (in the Cook Isands).
