Description

Decolonizing Cultures in the Pacific by Susan Y. Najita examines how indigenous writers from Hawai'i, Samoa, and Aotearoa/New Zealand reclaim their cultures and political independence through contemporary fiction. The book explores the traumatic history of contact and colonization as a powerful literary tool, analysing how Pacific authors remember, retell, and deploy colonial violence in their work. Published by Routledge as part of their Research in Postcolonial Literatures series, this study investigates the role of fiction in negotiating sovereignty and charting postcolonial futures. Najita argues that these writers invoke and comment upon historical trauma to articulate indigenous ways of knowing and cultural recovery. Essential reading for scholars of postcolonial literature, Pacific studies, and indigenous literary criticism seeking to understand how contemporary fiction serves decolonial purposes.
