Description

Explore the complex relationship between literature and colonial presence in the nineteenth-century Pacific. This scholarly work by Routledge examines how the production of texts often functioned alongside the creation of settled spaces, attempting to assert settler presence through controlled representations of cross-cultural encounters. This book provides a deep analysis of how Indigenous resistance challenged these narratives, using modes of representation that unsettled the written text. By examining the writings of four significant Western visitors to the Pacific - Robert Louis Stevenson, William Ellis, Herman Melville, and Jack London - the text investigates the consequences of reducing human encounters to written words. Ideal for students and academics in literary theory and cultural studies, this volume offers a focused look at the written word as a site of both colonial assertion and Indigenous resistance. It provides a necessary perspective on how cross-cultural experiences are shaped, recorded, and contested through literature.
