About the Authors
  • Volume II of The Cambridge History of the Pacific Ocean focuses on the latest era of Pacific history, examining the period from 1800 to the present day. This volume discusses advances and emerging trends in the historiography of the colonial era, before outlining the main themes of the twentieth century when the idea of a Pacific-centred century emerged. It concludes by exploring how history and the past inform preparations for the emerging challenges of the future. These essays emphasise the importance of understanding how the postcolonial period shaped the modern Pacific and its historians.

    • Emphasises the importance of understanding Pacific history in terms of the active agency of non-white and non-elite individuals and groups
    • Brings together concepts and historiographies usually treated separately in specialist publications on literature, economic history, ethnic studies and Indigenous Studies
    • Shows how powerfully Indigenous Pacific peoples have shaped the conceptualisation of their own region
