This compelling narrative recounts the eighteenth and nineteenth
century "shipping out" of Pacific Islanders aboard European and
American vessels, a kind of "counter-exploring", that echoed the
ancient voyages of settlement of their island ancestors. The author
weaves numerous local, regional and national accounts into a single
narrative that builds to a history of cross-cultural contact. Based
on an exhaustive search and summary of primary source material, the
work shows that non-Europeans played a dynamic role in the
integration of the world economy and the many forms of
acculturation that ensued. Chappell explains the significance of
"shipping out" as a world history phenomenon and demonstrates that
European expansion was a two-sided process involving a variety of
participants.
