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.
Críticas: "Offers rich historical ethnographies of selected encounters between Islanders and Outlanders in the period from 1769 to 1840. . . . A collection of wonderfully nuanced, insightful and provocative essays that advances significantly the study of Pacific pasts."
