Texts and Contexts is concerned with the development of Pacific
Islands history as a specialization in its own right. Specifically,
this volume examines the foundational texts that pioneered and
consolidated the new subdiscipline and served as the building
blocks and stepping-stone for further developments in the field.
Thirty-five texts, all of which represent defining points in the
development of Pacific Islands historiography, are examined. Much
more than retrospective appraisals of the foundational texts, the
individual chapters consider a text or complimentary texts within
the context of the time of writing and gauge what ongoing influence
they exerted. In some cases they suggest how a particular text has
been superseded by subsequent work that breaks new conceptual
ground in the ongoing process of revisionism.
