Description

Explore the deep connection between history and identity in Decolonizing Cultures in the Pacific. In this Routledge Research in Postcolonial Literatures volume, Susan Y. Najita examines how the history of contact and colonization serves as a tool for indigenous peoples in Oceania to reclaim their languages, ways of knowing, and political independence. This academic work analyzes how contemporary writers from Hawaii, Samoa, and Aotearoa/New Zealand use literature to remember and re-tell violent histories. By looking at how these authors deploy historical narratives, the book provides insight into how Pacific peoples negotiate paths toward sovereignty and shape their postcolonial futures. It is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in how literature acts as a vehicle for cultural reclamation and political agency in the Pacific region.
