Published to coincide with Samoa's first 50 years of independence, Samoa's Journey covers subjects as diverse as the country's literature and media, its society and sporting achievements. In 1962, Samoa became an independent state, after more than half a century of colonization. The nation has achieved much since then-including a unique parliamentary system that incorporates elements of Samoan culture and tradition while retaining the principles of democracy.
