Writing from and between a variety of disciplines, scholars from European, Polynesian and Settler backgrounds show how the Pacific reveals a more various and contradictory history than that supposed by such homogenizing metropolitan myths as the introduction of civilization to savage peoples, the general ruin of indigenous cultures by an imperial juggernaut, or the mimicry of European models by an abject population.
From an interdisciplinary standpoint, this book shows how the Pacific reveals a more various and contradictory history than that supposed by such homogenizing metropolitan myths as the ruin of indigenous cultures or the mimicry of European models by an abject population.
