Originally published in 1922, and relatively forward-thinking for its time, this collection of essays addresses the problem of depopulation in Melanesia as a result of white interference and colonialism. The contributors examine various factors in the population decrease, including diseases introduced by colonists and the psychological impact of outside interference.
