Nearly finished with his degree yet unsatisfied, he joined the first painting workshop at the Oceania Centre for Arts and Culture in 1998. He was given a piece of canvas and told to tell his story. Unexpectedly, he found inspiration in his memories of growing up in Lapaha, Tonga, and an answer to what had been missing. What emerged were the beginnings of a style inspired by Tongan practices, legends, and heritage. | Fall 21(2) Articles Modernity, Cosmopolitanism, and the Emergence of Middle Class in Tonga Niko Besnier Sustainability of the Kava Trade Nancy J Pollock Remembering Greg Dening Edited by David Hanlon, Contributions by Ben Finney, Marshall Sahlins, David Hanlon, Vicente M Diaz, Katerina Martina Teaiwa, and Greg Dvorak Political Reviews The Region in Review: International Issues and Events, 2008 Nic Maclellan Melanesia in Review: Issues and Events, 2008 David Chappell, Jon Fraenkel, Solomon Kantha, Brian Lenga Book and Media Reviews Bridging Our Sea of Islands: French Polynesian Literature within an Oceanic Context, by Kareva Mateata-Allain Reviewed by Paul Lyons House-Girls Remember: Domestic Workers in Vanuatu, edited by Margaret Rodman, Daniela Kraemer, Lissant Bolton, and Jean Tarisesei Reviewed by Margaret Jolly Une pirogue pour le Paradis: Le culte de John Frum à Tanna (Vanuatu), by Marc Tabani Reviewed by Carlos Mondragón The Future of Tokelau: Decolonising Agendas 1975–2006, by Judith Huntsman with Kelihiano Kalolo Reviewed by Ingjerd Hoëm We Fought the Navy and Won: Guam’s Quest for Democracy, by Doloris Coulter Cogan Reviewed by James Perez Viernes Politics and State Building in Solomon Islands, edited by Sinclair Dinnen and Stewart Firth Reviewed by Ian Frazer Nā Kua‘āina: Living Hawaiian Culture, by Davianna Pōmaika‘i McGregor Reviewed by Phyllis Turnbull Consequential Damages of Nuclear War: The Rongelap Report, by Barbara Rose Johnston and Holly M Barker Reviewed by Miriam Kahn Morning Comes So Soon [dvd] Reviewed by Greg Dvorak Penina Uliuli: Contemporary Challenges in Mental Health for Pacific Peoples, edited by Philip Culbertson, Margaret Nelson Agee, and Cabrini ‘Ofa Makasiale Reviewed by Francis X Hezel, SJ Featured Artist: Daniel Waswas Essence of Culture and Environment (2007), by Daniel Waswas Daniel Waswas is a celebrated Papua New Guinean artist, educator, and the founder of GalleryPNG and Kingdom Power Ministries.
