Preface
The first edition of this bibliography was published in 1999 as Tonga, Vol-
ume 217, in the World Bibliographical Series (Oxford, Santa Barbara and
Denver: Clio Press). In the nine years since, much of great significance has
happened and much has been published on Tonga.
Encouraged that it has been welcomed and found useful, I have con-
tinued to work on it, and I am very grateful to the University of Hawai‘i
Press, the leading publisher on the Pacific, for agreeing to publish this new
bibliography. This is based on the original and follows the same general
principles. It is selective and includes those items that seem the most signifi-
cant and accessible (and are published in English). Every item is annotated,
offering a summary, and comments where appropriate. That it is both selec-
tive and annotated sets it apart from other bibliographies.
I have broadly followed the same subject categories, with only minor
changes. There is a new section at the end on some of the most important
Web sites for the study of Tonga. Within each section the same arrange-
ment stands: items are in alphabetical order by title. I hope that the indexes
of author, title and subject will guide readers through it. In the original,
PhD theses (not read or annotated) were listed separately at the beginning,
unnumbered and thus unindexed. They are now placed within their appro-
priate sections, numbered and indexed. I have added approximately 230
new entries. Most of these are new items published in the past nine years,
and new theses. A few are older items either overlooked or now thought to
be worth including. The Introduction has been revised and updated.
As a small and relatively isolated country, vulnerable to external forces,
Tonga continues to face political, social, economic and environmental pres-
sures, some perhaps more intense than before. Under its new king, George
Tupou V, crowned in August 2008, and with its evolving political system,
those of us who know and love Tonga trust that its future will be secure. I
hope that this bibliography may help many who seek to know and under-
stand more of this remarkable kingdom.
Acknowledgements
My first thanks must go to Philip Snow, pioneer bibliographer of Tonga,
for suggesting to the publisher of the original bibliography that I might be
able to prepare a volume on Tonga. I have drawn much on his knowledge,
resources and experience.
Work on this bibliography began with the library of books that my wife
and I have collected for many years, but this is selective, is stronger on the
old than the new, and largely consists of books, not journals. I could not
have contemplated embarking on this undertaking without having avail-
able to me the superb library resources of my own institution, the School
of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London. There are
to be found many of the books and journals included here. However it
became obvious at an early stage that it would be necessary to supplement
the holdings of SOAS from one of the major libraries in the Pacific spe-
cializing in Pacific studies, and I am most grateful to Karen Peacock and
her staff in the Pacific collection of the University of Hawai‘i library for
enabling me to spend a very productive time there, working through their
fine collection.
Other libraries in the University of London have provided materials
within their own specialist areas. A particularly rich source was the library
of the Institute of Commonwealth Studies. Other libraries were those of
University College London, King’s College, the Institute of Archaeology,
the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, the Institute of Ad-
vanced Legal Studies and the Institute of Education. Also in London, the
library of the Natural History Museum provided access to material not avail-
able elsewhere.
While in Tonga in July 1998 for the celebrations of the eightieth birth-
day of His Majesty King Taufa‘âhau Tupou IV, and also to gather local mate-
rial, I was fortunate to meet some of the leading scholars working on Ton-
ga, Adrienne Kaeppler, Jehanne Teilhet-Fisk, Eric Shumway and Elizabeth
Wood-Ellem. I am grateful to them for their interest and encouragement.
Linda Crowl and Barbara Hau‘ofa of the University of the South Pacific
were helpful in many ways. I am grateful to the Tongan high commissioner
in London at that time, Akosita Fineanganofo, for her interest in the work
