Description
"In Oceania" documents and analyses the "rhetorical artifacts" of explorers, missionaries, fiction and travel writers, and the people of the Pacific themselves to illustrate how Oceanic identities have been represented over time. The author shows how cultures of the Pacific Islands have dealt with colonialist ventures, modernity, and the debate about the recuperation of histories and traditions with the resulting interactions between indigenous cultures and European influences creating entirely new identities.
