In a time of dynamism and contradiction in Pacific cultural production, a time of turning things over and writing from the inside out, this far-reaching volume provides a comprehensive set of essays and interviews on the emergent literatures of the New Pacific. With its dynamic combination of important position papers, polemics, and decolonizing critiques by noted authors and of analysis by new and established post-colonial scholars, this volume exposes the maze and mix of literatures and cultural identities breaking down and building up across the Pacific Ocean.
