Splendid study of power shifts in textualizing Pacific,
By
This review is from: Literary Culture and the Pacific: Nineteenth-Century Textual Encounters (Cambridge Studies in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture) (Hardcover)
This is a splendid study of power shifts, ruses, mimicry, contamination, counter-authority, in the textualizing Pacific seen as a domain of conversion and imperial materiality. The book deserves a wider recognition within postcolonial studies, as a thick descriptive theorization of colonial authority as made and unmade in a nexus of unequal and unstable distribution, then and now. The materials on Stevenson in Samoa are the best of their kind on native and colonial collaboration in something mongrel and new.
