Description

Body Trade offers a deep look into the complex history of the Pacific through the lens of the postcolonial body. This collection of essays examines the myths and realities surrounding the trade in heads, cannibalism, and the experiences of captive white women. It provides a serious academic investigation into the display of indigenous people in circuses and fairs, the impact of the stolen generations, and the history of 'comfort' women. By exploring the making of the exotic and erotic body, this work contributes to modern debates in feminist theory, postcolonial theory, and psychoanalysis. It serves as a vital resource for students and scholars interested in social and cultural history. This compendium brings together diverse perspectives to analyze the notion of the subjugated and captive body, making it a significant addition to the study of postcolonialism and theories of narrativity.
