Solomon Islands Overview of Solomon Islands In the Solomons, they talk about "The Islands of Pride," a reference not only to their country's natural beauty, but also to the people's contributions to the Allied cause in World War II. It's difficult now to imagine the bloody battles that took place in such an idyllic setting of glimmering lagoons, orchid-laden jungles, thundering waterfalls, forested peaks and thatched-hut villages. The islanders, like the Allied and Japanese forces, suffered dearly during the war. Nowadays, the islands have become a paradise once again (although a paradise with its own problems, from malaria and ethnic clashes to lumber companies cutting down the country's pristine rain forests). The wrecks of World War II ships that lie at the bottom of the sea are the sought-after treasure of recreational divers, and the relics of the islands' once-violent past can be found in museums. Author James Michener described the islands, even during war, as "passionately wonderful." And in many ways they still are. Although accommodations and infrastructure are primitive in most areas, adventurous water lovers will find good beaches, great diving and solitude.

The total areas of the IS is approx. 28,900 square kilometers with a population of approximately 470,000 people. the capital, Honiara, situated on the island of Guadalcanal, lies some 2600 kilometers north-east of Sydney. Regional Map Time: GMT + 11 hours. People The country is officially English speaking although Melanesian pidgin is more widely spoken. There are over 100 local dialects in total. The people are mostly Melanesian (90%) with some Polynesian, Gilbetese, European and Asian. More than 95% of the population are Christian. Life expectancy at birth is 71 years. Political Structure The Government is a parliamentary democracy with and election every four years. The Solomon Islands is a member of the Commonwealth with its nominal head of State being the British Monarch represented by the Governor General chosen by the Queen under recommendation of the Solomon's National Parliament. The chief government official is the Prime Minister who is chosen by the 38 members of Parliament. History The Solomon Islands were discovered approximately 5,000 years ago by the Austronesian. The Spanish were the first Europeans to visit the islands, Alvaro de Mendana naming them the Solomons in 1568. During it's history, the islands have fallen under occupation of the Germans, the British and the Australians. In 1975 the Australian-administered Solomons became independent as part of Papua New Guinea. The British Solomons gained independence as Solomon Islands on July 7, 1978. The area around the Solomon Islands, Guadalcanal in particular, is famous for the numerous bloody ship battles during WWII where thousands of men lost theirs lives. Iron Bottom Sound, off the coast of Guadalcanal, is littered with the shipwrecks from these battles.

Dissertation research in Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands (1965-67) on people's movement from the standpoint of the village. International Development Seminar, Institute of Advanced Projects, East-West Center, summer 1965. Postdoctoral Training in social demography, International Population Program, Cornell University 1968-69. Research interests: I am interested in population movements in the third world, generational change in rural populations, mobility and identity, and field methods, with a regional focus on the island Pacific, especially Melanesia. In the early 1990's, I returned to Solomon Islands and worked for the third time in twenty-eight years with the Guadalcanal communities who formed the basis of my doctoral dissertation. The aims of this research were both applied and basic. Applied, because the Solomons' need for information for socioeconomic planning, meant collecting details about population structure and dynamics for comparison with previous field data. The intellectual concern was with local epistemologies of movement as indicating structures of knowledge that have evolved independent of the Western intellectual tradition and might well inform its blinkeredness.
