Potiki (Talanoa: Contemporary Pacific Literature, 10)
This compelling novel will resonate for people everywhere who find their livelihood threatened by "Dollarmen" -- property speculators advocating golf courses, high rises, shopping malls, and tourist attractions. In <i>Potiki,</i> one community's response to attacks on their ancestral values and symbols provides moving affirmation of the relationship between land and the people who live on it.
