"A detailed study of the history of the Austral Islands situated in the Southern part of French Polynesia. Geographically, they consist of two separate archipelagos, namely in the northwest the Tubuai Islands (French: Iles Tubuai) consisting of the Iles Maria, Rimatara, Rurutu, Tubuai Island proper and Raivavae or Raevavae, and in the southeast the Bass Islands (French: Iles basses) composed of the main island of Rapa Iti and the small Marotiri. The book is in three parts. Part one consists of "a sequence of comments, made by the earliest foreign visitors, mainly in their own words." This aquaints the reader with the pre-colonial heritage of the area. Part Two is a collection of colour photos of early Austral Islands art held at the British Museum. Part Three provides personal comments by Rhys Richards and art history essays about specific classes of artifacts."--Publisher's description.

Tahiti Nui is an account of the survival of a Polynesian society in the face of successive settlements of missionaries, traders, and administrators. Beginning with the first explorers and Captain Cook's scientific observations at Point Venus, Dr. Newbury has separated the various strands interwoven in the fabric of Tahitian society, tracing their development and showing how they interacted at successive stages. Missionaries and foreign traders, administrators and Polynesians, planters and immigrant Chinese have all contributed to the distinctive flavor of French Polynesia, with Tahiti and Tahitians becoming increasingly dominant, not just as the focus of the French administration in Pape'ete, but in the social networks and trading patterns that have evolved.
