Mothers’ Darlings of the South Pacific traces some of the intimate relationships that developed between US servicemen and indigenous women in the major US bases from Bora Bora in the east to the Solomon Islands in the west, and from the Gilbert Islands in the north to New Zealand. The American military applied US immigration law based on race to prevent marriage ‘across the colour line’. For indigenous women and their American servicemen sweethearts, legal marriage was impossible, resulting in a generation of children known as ‘GI babies’.
