Gradhiva Revue d'anthropologie et d'histoire des arts En bref: By the middle of August five German warships had appeared in the bay of Apia, the capital, 37 and on 25 th August a new king was given the royal salute with twenty-one guns The king chosen by the Germans was the mild Tamasese, more inclined to be the mouthpiece of their commercial interests.
After living some months in the bush as a fugitive in search of possible alliances, Laupepa decided to sacrifice himself and surrender, in order to preserve his supporting countrymen from German retaliation. He was sent into exile.
One of the bystanders to the event tried to console the king by claiming: Laupepa and Tamasese were both heavy, well-meaning, inconclusive men. Impossible to conceive two less dashing champions for a threatened race. The figure of Mataafa seemed to foreshadow a possibility of resistance. A period of skirmishes began between the officials of the three powers in the islands.
The last straw came when the neutral zone of Apia, with a tripartite municipality, was de facto abrogated by the Germans. Tamasese was installed in the historical village of Mulinuu, once the site of the king but now in the hands of the German firm. Moreover, as the king lived in a German estate, the Germans would be able to hoist their flag above the royal one. The resistance to a king the Samoans did not recognise as such was organised around the other pretender, supported by most of the indigenous population. In the meantime non-aligned villages were attacked and burnt, German warships shelled villages from the sea, weapons were provided to the rebels by the Anglo-American forces and martial law was proclaimed by the Germans.
This episode has become a legend in the history of Samoa insofar as it demonstrated the vulnerability of a Western power: But Stevenson presents the victory as epochal principally because it showed Samoans the possibility of indigenous resistance: No native would then have ever dreamed of defying these colossal ships, worked by mysterious powers, and laden with outlandish instruments of death. None would have dreamed of resisting those strange but quite unrealised Great Powers, understood with difficulty to be larger than Tonga and Samoa put together, and known to be prolific of prints, knives, hard biscuit, picture books, and other luxuries, as well as of overbearing men and inconsistent orders.
In March seven huge ships lay at anchor: In the end, the agreement that men were not able to achieve was sealed by nature. On March 16 th a hurricane approached the coasts of Samoa and the super-technological Western forces seemed not to notice that the barometer was falling menacingly. The Apia harbour was small, surrounded by coral reefs and overcrowded with gigantic vessels that could hardly manoeuvre when the sea was flat.
It was a storm in a teacup, but its result was fatal. Of the seven ships only one succeeded in sailing out of the port, the British Calliope. The Eber was the first to sink. Only four of its crewmen survived. The Adler was stuck on the coral reef, and many of its crew members could be saved. The Nipsic was beached and the Olga collided with the Trenton before being beached itself. During the storm many Samoans participated in the rescue operations, careless of bringing help to friends or foes.
This episode is narrated with great irony by Stevenson, as if it stood as a symbol of the vanity of all human ambitions, which can be wiped away by nature with a single wingbeat. As noticed by Colley,. The arrangement was to make the government less dependent on agreement among local representatives of the three foreign Powers by strengthening the judiciary, reorganising public finances, re-establishing the municipality of Apia, ensuring the maintenance of peace among the Samoans, and offering the Samoan government responsible and reliable European advisers He was never officially king because of the German veto but, in fact, he ruled the country together with Laupepa from then on, and was considered the true sovereign by Samoans.
First of all, in dealing with an indigenous culture he challenges the juxtaposition between ethnography and history. The practice of ethnographic fieldwork privileges the synchronous, formulating social generalisations from evidence gathered in specific cross-cultural encounters which necessarily marginalise the impact of historical change The author himself stresses this aspect in a letter to Colvin, in which he pointed out that the subject matter of the book was pure history and it broke down distinctions between ancient and modern, myth and event: It also prefigures the possibility of change and resistance in Pacific islands.
He carries out his historical research by cross-examining different sources — written and oral — so that he can also record the voices of those who were not allowed to express their views formally or write their own histories, unlike the westerners who could easily avail themselves of reports, military despatches, letters and various written documents Therefore, as well as consulting a wide range of official writings, including records and publications of the American, British and German governments, he interviewed the indigenous perpetrators of the upheavals, most of whom were still alive when Stevenson landed in Samoa: Stevenson, too, valorises indirect or spontaneous testimony.
On that matter, the Samoan language is particularly revealing. Furthermore, Stevenson demonstrates that in Samoa the notion of private property is quite elusive.
Within the extended family or clan everything must be shared. Whenever you are in need, it is your right to ask for, and ultimately take, what you need. There is no legal obligation to give back or pay back. The obligation is only moral, but is very frequently ignored. Stevenson set himself the task of attempting to understand the mentalities, institutions and cultural formations produced under certain restricted material conditions, and then not only to narrate, but also to analyse, the disintegration and possible transformation of those psychological and social structures when brought into confrontation with the mentalities and institutions of another, materially more powerful, culture The invasive presence of the whites had transformed the islands completely.
Walking from one extreme to the other, a visitor would travel through a sequence of occupied areas that synthesized the recent history of Samoa.

Then one came across a series of offices, barracks and warehouses of the German firm. After that lay Matafele, a small town replete with German pubs and stores, hosting the German consulate, the Catholic mission and the cathedral. The river flowing under the Mulivai bridge marked the border with the Anglo-Saxon area.
Western residences and offices continued at Matautu, including the British and American consulates. Everything was indicated by a plethora of signs and boards, as if to set boundaries, give directions and define affiliations or identities. The harbour, too, was crowded with all types of ships and watercraft, men-of-war and merchant vessels, so much so that Stevenson exclaims: Stevenson points to the place where he lived when he was driven from the German into the Anglo-Saxon zone: Mulinuu, where Laupepa now resided, is described as a decaying village:
