The People of the Sea
Author: Paul D'Arcy
Publisher: University of Hawaii Press
ISBN: 9780824829599
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
Countering the dominant paradigms of recent Pacific Islands' historiography, which tend to limit understanding of the sea's importance, this volume emphasizes the flux in the maritime environment and how it instilled an expectation and openness toward outside influences and the rapidity with which cultural change could occur in relations between various Islander groups." "Students and scholars of Pacific history and environmental and cultural studies will welcome this re-evaluation of the sea's influence in Oceanic history."--BOOK JACKET.
