Inside Out by Vilsoni Hereniko
In a time of dynamism and contradiction in Pacific cultural production, a time of 'turning things over' and 'writing from the inside out,' this far-reaching volume provides a comprehensive set of essays and interviews on the emergent literatures of the New Pacific. With its dynamic combination of important position papers, polemics, and decolonizing critiques by noted authors and of analysis by new and established post-colonial scholars, this volume exposes 'the maze and mix of literatures and cultural identities breaking down and building up across the Pacific Ocean.' This pioneering work will be the definitive resource for anyone researching or teaching Pacific literature and will be invaluable for bringing Pacific culture to readers outside the region.
Weighty and comprehensive collection of twenty four new articles about literature, cultural politics, and identity in the 'New Pacific' Each contributor writes with a unique voice. One of the book's greatest strengths is its presentation of new perspective, analysis, and historical and cultural information. * The Uts Review *
