Authenticity and Authorship in Pacific Island Encounters : New Lives of Old Imaginaries, Hardback Book

Authenticity and Authorship in Pacific Island Encounters : New Lives of Old Imaginaries Hardback

Edited by Jeannette Mageo, Bruce Knauft

Part of the ASAO Studies in Pacific Anthropology series

Hardback

Description

The insular Pacific is a region saturated with great cultural diversity and poignant memories of colonial and Christian intrusion.

Considering authenticity and authorship in the area, this book looks at how these ideas have manifested themselves in Pacific peoples and cultures.

Through six rich complementary case studies, a theoretical introduction, and a critical afterword, this volume explores authenticity and authorship as “traveling concepts.” The book reveals diverse and surprising outcomes which shed light on how Pacific identity has changed from the past to the present.
