NEED TO FIND THIS BOOK TO ADD ABSTRACT
This paper reviews the historical and cultural place of education in Samoan Society and examines the acculturative effects of educational television focusing on the period to 1973 when television was phased out as the central medium of educational instruction.
Rapid globalization is forcing youth around the world to confront new developmental challenges, and conceptual models are needed that can capture this experience and its developmental implications.
This report, then, is about the journey from assimilation of a minority culture into the majority one, to the realization of the rights its members have to maintain their own identity, and the benefits that result.
This thesis constitutes a site for New Zealand-born Samoans to explore issues ofethnic identity. The emphasis is on the process of the Samoanising of christianity, andhegemonic identity discourses of not only the dominant society but of island-born Samoansand elders, and how this contributes to New Zealand-born Samoan self perceptions. A socio-historical overview provides an understanding of the process in which New Zealand-born Samoans have been positioned.

Final research report from the A'oga Fa'a Samoa, an Early Childhood Centre of Innovation. The report was prepared for the Ministry of Education by Valerie N. Podmore with Tanya Wendt Samu and the A'oga Fa'a Samoa.
A Samoan studies professor at the National University of Samoa introduces a new word, fa’asinomaga (identity) in the mid 1990s...three events, separated in place and time evoke both the scope and orientations of the Samoan diaspora as well as give a glimpse of an active and ongoing attempt to keep a traditional culture current in face of the culturally homogenizing influence of globalization. This paper has two parts. In the first part I will briefly explore the Samoan
conceptions of culture and identity. In the second part I will look at how one Samoan teacher has applied identity principles in a summer youth program in San Francisco. Ultimately I will argue that this attempted cultural reification is an example of, what I will call, ‘applied identity.’
This course will be of interest to managers of organisations
providing services to the community. It is designed also to
be useful for front-line employees in both the public and
private sectors – for example, teachers, healthcare
professionals, local body officers, policy developers. Pacific
researchers and others wanting to acquire an understanding
of Samoa and Samoan identity will also be welcome.
