"Across the great divide" tracks a Pacific historian's fruitful, if
at times ambivalent engagement with history and anthropology,
anticipating recent experiments in each discipline with the other's
theories, modes or perspectives. This collection of revised essays
and previously unpublished work provides a coherent and incisive
investigation into significant elements of received scholarly
wisdom about oceania, and deploys ethnographic and historical
narratives about colonial encounters in New Caledonia and elsewhere
in Melanesia to varied reflective ends. The essays cluster about
three internally coherent themes - indigenous leadership, fighting
and encounters with Christianity. These themes are linked by
shorter, reflexive pieces which probe changing but related
theoretical, methodological and discursive concerns recurrent in
the essays: notably, to denaturalize conventional categorical
boundaries, and to explore ways of knowing indigenous pasts through
critical readings of colonial texts. The collection is prefaced by
an introduction identifying those concerns and relating them to
changing wider discourses within and beyond the disciplines,
particularly postcolonial and feminist
