The destruction of local identity through the relentless
encroachment of a 'McDonald-ized' cultural imperialism is a global
phenomenon. Yet the reactions of Pacific peoples to this Western
hegemony are diverse and encourage the creation of independent
cultural identities through sports and games, political mediations,
tourism, media and filmmaking, and the struggles for land rights
and titles, particularly in Australia.
This book, based on extensive fieldwork, addresses a subject of
great immediacy to peoples of the Pacific Island nations. It fills
an important gap in existing ethnographic literature on the region
and confidently navigates what had previously been considered
uncharted, even unchartable, waters -- that wide sea between the
classic ethnography of Oceania and contemporary anthropology's
theoretical concerns with global relations and transnational
cultures. Its breadth, rigour, and timely contribution to
post-colonial politics in Oceania are certain to ensure that this
book will provide an enduring contribution to the field.
