"Asia, the Pacific Islands and the coasts of the Americas have long
been studied separately. This essential single-volume history of
the Pacific traces the global interactions and remarkable peoples
that have connected these regions with each other and with Europe
and the Indian Ocean, for millennia. From ancient canoe navigators,
monumental civilisations, pirates and seaborne empires, to the rise
of nuclear testing and global warming, Matt Matsuda ranges across
the frontiers of colonial history, anthropology and Pacific Rim
economics and politics, piecing together a history of the region.
The book identifies and draws together the defining threads and
extraordinary personal narratives which have contributed to this
history, showing how localised contacts and contests have often
blossomed into global struggles over colonialism, tourism and the
rise of Asian economies. Drawing on Asian, Oceanian, European,
American, ancient and modern narratives, the author assembles a
fascinating Pacific region from a truly global perspective"--
