Polynesia

Pina
by Titaua Peu

This groundbreaking work paints a raw, realistic portrait of Polynesia today. Author Titaua Peu strips away the Western myth of Tahiti – the pathological paradise – to reveal the truth of post-colonial life for a local family in a stunning and horrifying combination of heaven and hell.
