"Representing the South Pacific: Colonial Discourse from Cook to Gauguin" by Rod Edmond

"Representing the South Pacific: Colonial Discourse from Cook to Gauguin" by Rod Edmond
CamUni Press | 1997 | ISBN: 0521550548 9780521550543 | 318 pages | PDF | 25 MB

This book examines how the South Pacific was represented by explorers, missionaries, travellers, writers, and artists between 1767 and 1914 by drawing on history, literature, art history, and anthropology. Edmond engages with colonial texts and postcolonial theory, criticising both for their failure to acknowledge the historical specificity of colonial discourses and cultural encounters, and for continuing to see indigenous cultures in essentially passive or reactive terms.
