In Linguistic Landscaping and the Pacific Region: Colonization,
Indigenous Identities, and Critical Discourse Theory, Diane
Elizabeth Johnson provides four case studies, each exploring the
use of language in public spaces in an area of the Pacific in which
colonization has played a major role: Hawai'i, Aotearoa/ New
Zealand, New Caledonia, and Tahiti. Each of these studies is
informed by critical discourse theory, a theory which highlights
the ways in which hegemonic structures may be established,
reinforced, and- particularly in times of crisis-contested and
overturned. The book introduces the case studies in the context of
a parallel introduction to the Pacific region, critical discourse
theory, and research on linguistic landscapes. The critical
discussion is accessible to students and others who are approaching
these contexts and theories for the first time, while also
providing locating the author's work in relation to existing
scholarship. Johnson urges readers to listen carefully to the
voices of indigenous peoples at a time when the danger of Western
certainties has been fully exposed.
