摘要由于气候变化的影响，人们对整个太平洋岛屿社区的搬迁问题进行了多年的讨论。将太平洋社区搬迁到其他国家通常被认为是一个新颖的未来主义想法。然而，在世纪中期，太平洋地区发生了三次这样的跨境运动，至少还有三次在酝酿中，但没有实施。本文主要集中在1945年巴纳巴人从今天的基里巴斯搬迁到斐济，但与1947年从图瓦卢到斐济的Vaitupuans运动进行了一些比较。研究借鉴了2012年和2013年在斐济和基里巴斯进行的访谈;基里巴斯，斐济和英国国家档案馆保存的官方记录;以及西太平洋高级委员会在新西兰举行的殖民记录。
ABSTRACT Perennial discussions arise about relocating whole Pacific Island communities because of the impacts of climate change. The relocation of Pacific communities to other countries is generally assumed to be a novel, futuristic idea. Yet in the mid-20th century, three such cross-border movements in the Pacific occurred, with at least another three mooted but not carried out. This paper focuses principally on the 1945 Banaban relocation from present-day Kiribati to Fiji but makes some comparisons with the movement of Vaitupuans from Tuvalu to Fiji in 1947. Research draws on interviews conducted in Fiji and Kiribati in 2012 and 2013; official records housed in the national archives of Kiribati, Fiji and the UK; and the colonial records of the Western Pacific High Commission, held in New Zealand.
