The New Hebrides (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781024900996)

In "The New Hebrides: Is France Or Britain To Annex Them?", missionary John Gibson Paton presents a compelling argument concerning the future of the New Hebrides islands. This historical work delves into the geopolitical dynamics of the late 19th century, exploring the potential annexation of the islands by either France or Britain.

Paton, drawing upon his intimate knowledge of the region and its people, offers insights into the social, political, and religious considerations at stake. This volume serves as a valuable primary source for understanding the complexities of colonial ambitions and the impact on indigenous populations. It remains a relevant study for those interested in the history of Oceania, colonialism, and the intersection of missionary work and imperial politics.
