Download or read book British Imperial Strategies in the Pacific, 1750-1900 written by Jane Samson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This reader of 18 previously published historical essays (all drawn from the 1990s) focuses on the relationship between Pacific history and the British Empire. The first set of papers looks at cultural contact brought about by exploration and trade, focusing on questions of the economy, science, and the nature of British collection of artifacts. Other articles concentrate more on the process of colonization, discussing such subjects as the origins of the first penal settlements in Australia and the impact of colonization on native peoples in Australia, New Zealand, and elsewhere. The final essays explore issues of culture, gender, and the environment. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
Book Synopsis Violence and Colonial Dialogue by : Tracey Banivanua Mar
Download or read book Violence and Colonial Dialogue written by Tracey Banivanua Mar and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2006-12-31 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the post-abolition period a trade in cheap and often cost-neutral labor flourished in the western Pacific. For more than forty years, it supplied tens of thousands of indentured laborers to the sugar industry of northeastern Australia. Violence and Colonial Dialogue tells the story of its impact on the people who were traded. From the beaches and shallows of the Pacific’s frontiers to the plantations and settlements of Queensland and beyond, a collective tale of the pioneers of today’s Australian South Sea Island community is told through an abundant and effective use of materials that characterize the colonial record, including police registers, court records, prison censuses, administrative reports, legislative debates, and oral histories. With a thematic focus on the physical violence that was central to the experience of people who were voluntarily or involuntarily recruited, the history that emerges is a powerful tale that is at once both tragic and triumphant. Violence and Colonial Dialogue also tells a more universal story of colonization. Set mostly in the British settler-colony of Queensland during the last forty years of the nineteenth century, it explores the brutality embedded in the structures of a colonial state, while attempting to recover the stories that such processes obscured.
Download or read book The White Pacific written by Gerald Horne and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2007-05-31 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[Book title] ranges over the broad expanse of Oceania to reconstruct the history of "blackbirding" (slave trading) in the region. It examines the role of U.S. citizens (many of them ex-slaveholders and ex-confederates) in the trade and its roots in Civil War dislocations. What unfolds is a dramatic tale of unfree labor, conflicts between formal and informal empire, white supremacy, threats to sovereignty in Hawaii, the origins of a White Australian policy, and the rise of Japan as a Pacific power and putative protector."--Back cover.

Book Synopsis Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands since the First World War by : William S. Livingston
Download or read book Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands since the First World War written by William S. Livingston and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-09-12 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three forces—dwindling British power, rising American influence, and nationalism in a variety of forms—have transformed Australia, New Zealand, and the adjacent islands since 1919. In this volume, some of the most distinguished scholars of the Pacific region assess these significant historical changes. These essays deal with international relations, politics, changing social structures, and literature since World War I. The themes of the volume as a whole are social and humanistic; they concern the evolution of both a regional identity and separate national identities in the Southwest Pacific. The unique areal and thematic concentration of this book makes it essential reading for all those interested in the history, politics, and culture of the Pacific.

Book Synopsis Australian Imperialism by : Erik Paul
Download or read book Australian Imperialism written by Erik Paul and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-06-07 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his critical study of Australian imperialism, Erik Paul analyses the making, character and contours of the geopolitical state from the time of the British invasion and colonisation to the present, expanding the country’s continental political and economic power. War is the crucible for its hegemonic power, nationalism, and politics. The book exposes and dissects capitalist imperialism to control and manage a growing population and to impose the grand strategy of a US client state. The geopolitics in the partitioning of the earth and the exploitation of people and the biosphere continue to create major conflict, inequality, and human suffering. Australia plays an important role in the intensification of the struggle among major powers and in the outcome of an expanding global ecological and hegemonic crisis. But the existing Australian state of exception constitutes a major obstacle to a reconciliation with China and to a peaceful regional and world order.

Download or read book Framing the Islands written by Greg Fry and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2019-10-25 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its origins in late eighteenth-century European thought, the idea of placing a regional frame around the Pacific islands has never been just an exercise in geographical mapping. This framing has always been a political exercise. Contending regional projects and visions have been part of a political struggle concerning how Pacific islanders should live their lives. Framing the Islands tells the story of this political struggle and its impact on the regional governance of key issues for the Pacific such as regional development, resource management, security, cultural identity, political agency, climate change and nuclear involvement. It tells this story in the context of a changing world order since the colonial period and of changing politics within the post-colonial states of the Pacific. Framing the Islands argues that Pacific regionalism has been politically significant for Pacific island states and societies. It demonstrates the power associated with the regional arena as a valued site for the negotiation of global ideas and processes around development, security and climate change. It also demonstrates the political significance associated with the role of Pacific regionalism as a diplomatic bloc in global affairs, and as a producer of powerful policy norms attached to funded programs. This study also challenges the expectation that Pacific regionalism largely serves hegemonic powers and that small islands states have little diplomatic agency in these contests. Pacific islanders have successfully promoted their own powerful normative framings of Oceania in the face of the attempted hegemonic impositions from outside the region; seen, for example, in the strong commitment to the ‘Blue Pacific continent’ framing as a guiding ideology for the policy work of the Pacific Islands Forum in the face of pressures to become part of Washington’s Indo-Pacific strategy.
