Why have the struggles of the African Diaspora so resonated with
South Pacific people? How have Maori, Pasifika and Pakeha activists
incorporated the ideologies of the African diaspora into their
struggle against colonial rule and racism, and their pursuit of
social justice? This book challenges predominant understandings of
the historical linkages that make up the (post-)colonial world. The
author goes beyond both the domination of the Atlantic viewpoint,
and the correctives now being offered by South Pacific and Indian
Ocean studies, to look at how the Atlantic ecumene is refracted in
and has influenced the Pacific ecumene. The book is empirically
rich, using extensive interviews, participation and archival work
and focusing on the politics of Black Power and the Rastafari
faith. It is also theoretically sophisticated, offering an
innovative hermeneutical critique of post-colonial and subaltern
studies. The Black Pacific is essential reading for students and
scholars of Politics, International Relations, History and
Anthropology interested in anti-colonial struggles, anti-racism and
the quests for equality, justice, freedom and self-determination.
