Abstract

The articles collected in this issue were first presented at an international workshop about colonial grievances, justice and reconciliation held in 2005 at the 6th Conference of the European Society for Oceanists in Marseille, France. Contributors to this issue were determined to publish some of the papers together to demonstrate the similarities in the legacy of colonialism in various Pacific societies and also to show the complexities of resolving problems that follow directly from colonial history.
