For more than a century, the true story of Banaba (Ocean Island) went largely untold — a tiny Pacific island stripped for its phosphate, and a people who lost their homeland yet refused to lose themselves. Drawing on decades of research, rare archival photographs, and the oral histories of the Banaban elders, these works document that story as it has never been recorded before. Written by the late Raobeia Ken Sigrah, a Banaban clan spokesman, and Stacey M. King, whose family ties to the island span four generations — this is history told from both sides of Banaba's story.
