This title was first published in 2002.In recent years scholars
have begun to conceptualize the history of the Pacific Ocean as a
subset of world history. This question is taken up in the
introductory chapter of this volume, which sets out four periods of
modern Pacific history: a silver period, 1570s-1750; a period of
early integration, 1750-1850; a gold period, 1850-c.1900; and a
period of imperial strategies after the gold rushes. The next
chapter looks at the fur trade of the Pacific coast of America, and
its dependence on markets in China and Russia, followed by a set
which focus on the era of the gold rushes, in California, Australia
and New Zealand, when the pace of Pacific integration grew rapidly
and new markets opened across the ocean. The last chapters examine
aspects of the subsequent evolution of the Pacific Ocean into an
'American lake', looking in particular at the interlocking of
politics and migration. This volume carries forward study of the
'Pacific Centuries', promoting the conceptualization of the Pacific
Ocean as a coherent unit of analysis, and providing further
important steps toward provision of the multi-century framework
that is required for proper understanding of today's 'Pacific
Century'.
