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 UR - https://doi.org/10.7560/703445 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781477301234 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781477301234/original ER -
