Very cool volume on dependence in Oceania:
The concept of ‘dependence’ has been central to analyses of Oceanic sociality. Despite this, the concept has received little scrutiny, instead it remains as the foundation for other conceptual positions. Read our discussion on it on this Special Issue: bit.ly/2021V91I2ToC

Professor Atul Shah draws on his background as a Jain to argue that we need a healthier relationship with #finance @BBCRadio4 bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000yld…
Rachel Smith's article discusses the keyword 'self-reliance' in Vanuatu; its genealogy in Pan-African and decolonization movements, and how it continues to articulate visions of development and citizenship at national and 'grassroots' community levels.
NEW Special Issue! Authors address the topic: has ‘real’ independence been achieved in the Pacific? Do Oceanic societies valorise interpersonal interdependence more than their former Western colonisers? Available through Open Access. More here: bit.ly/2021V91I2ToC
