Malaita is one of the major islands in the Solomons Archipelago and has the largest population in the Solomon Islands nation. Its people have an undeserved reputation for conservatism and aggression. Making Mala argues that in essence Malaitans are no different from other Solomon Islanders, and that their dominance, both in numbers and their place in the modern nation, can be explained through their recent history. A grounding theme of the book is its argument that, far than being conservative, Malaitan religions and cultures have always been adaptable and have proved remarkably flexible in accommodating change. This has been the secret of Malaitan success. Malaitans rocked the foundations of the British protectorate during the protonationalist Maasina Rule movement in the 1940s and the early 1950s, have heavily engaged in internal migration, particularly to urban areas, and were central to the ‘Tension Years’ between 1998 and 2003. Making Mala reassesses Malaita’s history, demolishes undeserved tropes and uses historical and cultural analyses to explain Malaitans’ place in the Solomon Islands nation today.

This book is a study of Woodford, the man, and what drove his desire to establish a colonial protectorate in the Solomon Islands. In doing so, it also addresses ongoing issues: not so much why the independent state broke down, but how imperfectly it was put together in the first place.

Der Kommentar des Raschi (R. Schlomo ben Yitzchaq, Troyes 1040-1105) gehört zum jüdischen Core Curriculum und wird zusammen mit dem Hebräischen Bibeltext abgedruckt. Diese Arbeit untersucht anhand ausgewählter Stellen die Zitationen der Hebräischen Bibel und der Masora, und die frühen handschriftlichen Versionen des Raschi-Kommentars. Zugleich führt die Arbeit in die mittelalterliche jüdische Bibelauslegung und die Lesarten der aschkenasischen Tradition der Hebräischen Bibel ein. So kann gezeigt werden, dass Raschi im 11. Jh. ein Hebräischer Text vorlag, der sich in bestimmten Lesarten, Details der Plene- und Defektiv-Schreibung und Teilen der Masora von dem heute rezipierten Bibeltext auf Grundlage des Codex Leningradensis (BHS) unterschied, und dass die aschkenasische Texttradition sukzessive durch die nach Westeuropa eindringende orientalische Texttradition und die tiberiensische Masora verdrängt worden ist. Damit ist das Buch eine Fundgrube für masoretisch und exegetisch interessierte Theologen, Judaisten und Mediävisten.

The Solomon Islands Campaign of World War II has been the subject of many published historical accounts. Most of these accounts present an ‘outsider’ perspective with limited reference to the contribution of indigenous Solomon Islanders as coastwatchers, scouts, carriers and labourers under the Royal Australian Navy and other Allied military units. Where islanders are mentioned, they are represented as ‘loyal’ helpers. The nature of local contributions in the war and their impact on islander perceptions are more complex than has been represented in these outsiders’ perspectives. Islander encounters with white American troops enabled self-awareness of racial relationships and inequality under the colonial administration, which sparked struggles towards recognition and political autonomy that emerged in parts of the British Solomon Islands Protectorate in the postwar period. Exploitation of postwar military infrastructure by the colonial administration laid the foundation for later sociopolitical upheaval experienced by the country. In the aftermath of the 1998 crisis, the supposed unity and pride that prevailed among islanders during the war has been seen as an avenue whereby different ethnic identities can be unified. This national unification process entailed the construction of the ‘Pride of our Nation’ monument that aims to restore the pride and identity of Solomon Islanders.
