Voyages and beaches : Pacific encounters, 1769-1840

by Alex Calder, Jonathan Lamb, Bridget Orr

This collection of multidisciplinary essays examines historical encounters between Europeans and Pacific peoples. Challenging simplistic myths of imperial conquest, the contributors analyse how local differences and indigenous agency shaped these complex interactions.

What actually happened as Europeans and peoples of the Pacific discovered each other? How have their respective senses of the past influenced their understanding of the present? And what are the consequences of their meeting? In this collection of essays, scholars from European, Polynesian, and Settler backgrounds provide answers to these questions. -- publisher's blurb
