Description

Explore a provocative analysis of how the United States has represented Oceania and its people from the nineteenth century to the modern day. In this scholarly work, Paul Lyons examines how imperial fantasies have often obscured a complex and violent history. By introducing the theoretical framework of 'American Pacificism,' the book offers a new way to look at established debates regarding orientalism within an Oceanian context. This text draws on contemporary theories of friendship, hospitality, and tourism to refigure historical perspectives. Lyons investigates the deep connections between American-Islander relations and traces how two fundamental conceptions of Oceania have become entwined in the American imagination. This book is a necessary resource for researchers and students interested in postcolonial literatures and the history of American representations of the Pacific.
