Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The displacement of the conventional Culture of Nauru by contemporary western influences is very clearly visible on the island. Only little remains preserved from the old customs. The traditions of arts and crafts are lost nearly completely. The inhabitants of Nauru wear the usual tropical clothes: short trousers and light shirts. Fishing still follows a traditional method: the island anglers wait in small light boats for fish to arrive. The custom of fishing by trained frigatebirds has been preserved. Radio Nauru has collected numerous recordings of local people's music. But even old Nauruans can rarely understand the contents of these songs. Whilst the traditional culture rapidly gives way to the contemporary, as elsewhere in Micronesia, music and dance still rank among the most popular art forms. Rhythmic singing and traditional reigen are performed particularly at celebrations and craftsmen make articles of clothing and fans of Kokosfasern and the sheets of the screw tree and use geometrical samples, which resemble those of the Indonesian culture. Also the wood of the kokospalme is used for the production of arts and crafts. The language of Nauru, Nauri, is a Micronesian language. English is understood and spoken widely. Education is compulsory from 6 to 16, in all the schools on the island. The University of the South Pacific has a center in Nauru located in the Aiwo District and offers pre-school teacher education, nutrition and disability studies and will offer the Community Workers Certificate. The campus offers Audio and video conferencing facilities, library and computer laboratory as well as internet and email access via USPNet are availa...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=848304 ...

Extrait : La culture nauruane est à l'origine océanienne mais est très fortement marquée par l'occidentalisation de la société de l'île qui accompagna sa colonisation puis son indépendance. Avant la colonisation de leur île et l'occidentalisation de leur société, les Nauruans étaient un peuple polygame organisé en une société tribale et matrilinéaire. Ils ne se tatouaient pas comme c'était l'usage dans d'autres îles de l'océan Pacifique, portaient des pagnes de feuille de cocotier (les ridis), se frictionnaient le corps avec de l'huile de noix de coco et pratiquaient des danses qui furent jugées trop sexuelles par les Européens. Avec l'arrivée des Européens, ces usages disparaissent peu à peu par abandon et adoption des vêtements et du mariage chrétien. Peuple pacifique, les Nauruans avaient un grand respect et de l'estime pour les premiers Européens qui prirent contact avec eux à la découverte de l'île en 1798 puis à partir de 1830 lorsque les premiers Européens s'y établissent. Les Nauruans avaient aussi la notion du commerce en troquant le coprah, produit de grande valeur dans l'océan Pacifique, contre des armes, du tabac, des outils, de l'alcool avant d'introduire l'argent dans leurs échanges avec les navires marchand au siècle. Néanmoins, le contact avec les Européens à se révéla néfaste pour les Nauruans lorsque ceux-ci commencèrent à régler les conflits par la violence plutôt que par la voie pacifique comme c'était de coutume. À partir de la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les Nauruans s'impliquèrent dans la vie politique et économique de leur île ce qui déboucha sur l'indépendance...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...
