Groves"Short DesriptionTwilight of the Pacific Colonialism, by Gordon W. Groves, is the fascinating first-person account of the author's experiences in the Gilbert and Ellice Islands Colony (GEIC) of the United Kingdom, which became independent in 1979 as the Republic of Kiribati. The author focuses on four main themes: the mindset of the Colonials and natives on the eve of the demise of the Colony; the author's difficulties in getting Government permission to marry a young island girl; the extraordinary lifestyle on Orona, one of the most remote islands in the Pacific; and the difficulties of a young island girl trying to adapt to cosmopolitan life. Most of the story takes place on the islands of Canton and Orona--islands as different as night and day. Gordon W. Groves was intrigued with both islands and in 1957-58, during the International Geophysical Year (IGY), he found himself with an opportunity he could not pass up--to visit and study these fascinating islands in the Pacific. This detailed account doubles as an informative case book and a moving portrait of a relationship that proves to be loving and enduring.
