In Linguistic Landscaping and the Pacific Region: Colonization,
Indigenous Identities, and Critical Discourse Theory, Diane
Elizabeth Johnson provides four case studies, each exploring the
use of language in public spaces in an area of the Pacific in which
colonization has played a major role: The Kingdom of
Hawai‘i/Hawai‘i, Aotearoa/New Zealand, Kanaky/New Caledonia,
and Tahiti. Each of these studies is informed by critical discourse
theory, highlighting the ways in which hegemonic structures may be
established, reinforced, and— particularly in times of
crisis—contested and overturned. The book introduces the case
studies in the context of a parallel introduction to the Pacific
region, critical discourse theory, and research on linguistic
landscapes. The critical discussion is accessible to students and
others who are approaching these contexts and theories for the
first time, while also locating the author’s work in relation to
existing scholarship. Johnson urges readers to listen carefully to
the voices of indigenous peoples at a time when the danger of
Western certainties has been fully exposed.
