  • Aspects of Samoan Women's Wartime Experiences
    SUBTLE INVASIONS: ASPECTS OF SAMOAN WOMEN’S WARTIME EXPERIENCES SAUI’A LOUISE MARIE TUIMANUOLO MATAIA-MILO A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE VICTORIA UNIVERSITY OF WELLINGTON IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN HISTORY VICTORIA UNIVERSITY OF WELLINGTON 2017 Acknowledgements I would like to express my sincere thanks and gratitude to my supervisors, Adrian Muckle, and Charlotte Macdonald for all your assistance. I thank you most sincerely for your patience, interest, and immense knowledge that guided and helped me through this research. I could not have imagined having better advisors and mentors for this journey. I acknowledge the scholarship award under the Memorandum of Understanding between the National University of Samoa and Victoria University that enabled me to pursue this study. I also received financial assistance from the Victoria Doctoral Hardship Scholarship and Victoria Doctoral Submission Scholarship. I would also like to express my deepest appreciation to all my research participants (age 83-105 years), in Upolu, Manono, Savai’i, Tutuila and Manu’a, and in Auckland. You graciously agreed to be interviewed, to contribute and to share your wartime life stories. You are the reason I set out to find answers. Your war experiences have become the core of this thesis. Without you this study would not have been possible. I know most of you have passed on to the spirit world, but your wisdom will strengthen the next generation of Samoan women. A number of people have contributed their services to improve the quality of this thesis, notably the VUW Librarians Justin Cargill and Tony Quinn, the staff of the New Zealand National Library/Alexander Turnbull Library and Archives New Zealand.
