Description

This ethnographic study examines how Pacific Island nations resist Western cultural imperialism and construct independent identities through diverse cultural practices. Drawing on extensive fieldwork, the book explores identity formation across multiple domains including sports and games, political mediation, tourism, media and filmmaking, and struggles for land rights and titles, particularly in Australia. The work addresses the immediate concerns of Pacific peoples facing the homogenising effects of globalised consumer culture, filling a critical gap in anthropological literature by demonstrating how local communities actively shape their own cultural futures rather than passively accepting external influence. Published by Bloomsbury, this contribution to the Explorations in Anthropology series provides valuable insights into resistance, agency, and the vibrant ways Pacific societies maintain and reinvent their identities.

Key Features

The book examines Pacific Island responses to Western cultural hegemony through extensive ethnographic fieldwork across multiple regions.

Land rights and titles struggles, particularly in Australia, are explored as key sites of identity assertion and cultural resistance.

Published by Bloomsbury as part of the Explorations in Anthropology series, offering scholarly perspective on postcolonial Pacific studies.

Addresses the immediate cultural and political concerns facing Pacific Island nations confronting globalisation and economic imperialism.
