This book charts the previously untold story of decolonisation in
the oceanic world of the Pacific, Australia and New Zealand,
presenting it both as an indigenous and an international
phenomenon. Tracey Banivanua Mar reveals how the inherent limits of
decolonisation were laid bare by the historical peculiarities of
colonialism in the region, and demonstrates the way imperial powers
conceived of decolonisation as a new form of imperialism. She shows
how Indigenous peoples responded to these limits by developing rich
intellectual, political and cultural networks transcending colonial
and national borders, with localised traditions of protest and
dialogue connected to the global ferment of the twentieth century.
The individual stories told here shed new light on the forces that
shaped twentieth-century global history, and reconfigure the
history of decolonisation, presenting it not as an historic event,
but as a fragile, contingent and ongoing process continuing well
into the postcolonial era.
