    Measuring mixed race: ‘We the Half-Castes of Papua and New Guinea’

    No full text
    This chapter examines the historical and contemporary ways in which mixed race identity is constructed and interpreted in Papua New Guinea (PNG). The author approaches the topic through an analysis of various government documents including reports, the census, birth certificates, and identification certificates. In addition, she uses interview data and draws upon her own socialization as a mixed race woman of PNG descent to provide further insight. She argues that mixed race identity in PNG is multigenerational and reliant upon concepts of peles (place of Indigenous origin). Further, she shows that the term ‘nationality’ is often used as a synonym for race or ethnicity and that ‘half-caste’—while not strictly referring to and individual of ‘half x and half y’ descent—was and continues to be an appropriate response for questions of nationality

    For more about the East-West Center, see http://www.eastwestcenter.org/August 1-5, 1983, the South Pacific Commission held its 15th Regional Technical Meeting on Fisheries, Noumea, New Caledonia. The meeting was attended by Chief Fisheries Officers of the South Pacific region with observers from Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, and the United States (Hawaii). A questionnaire was designed to query these fisheries division heads on their perceptions of aquaculture and its development in their respective countries. An analysis of this information is essential in forming the program's strategy so as to reflect the needs and aspirations of island countries with respect to aquaculture and its development. The unfortunate aspect about the results was the notable absence of responses from the French Territories including French Polynesia, New Caledonia, Wallis and Futuna
