Solomon Independence explores Solomon Islands' journey to self-determination, analyzing its evolution from a British Protectorate to an independent nation. The book examines the intricate interplay of political evolution, economic development, and the lasting colonial legacy that shaped the Solomon Islands. Readers will learn how the nation addressed sustainable development and resource management in its post-colonial era.
The book's narrative is structured around three main sections: the historical backdrop of British colonialism, the growth of political movements, and the economic difficulties encountered after independence. For example, the book highlights the initial establishment of the British Solomon Islands Protectorate and its subsequent administration, revealing the social and economic structures imposed during this period. This journey was not straightforward; it was characterized by internal political dynamics and external economic pressures.
The book provides a balanced view of the Solomon Islands' journey, making it appealing to those with an interest in History, Politics, and post-colonial studies.
