Beskrivning
These volumes present a comprehensive survey of the history of the Pacific Ocean, an area making up around one third of the Earth's surface, from initial human colonization to the present day. Reflecting a wide range of cultural and disciplinary perspectives, this two-volume work details different ways of telling and viewing history in a Pacific world of exceptionally diverse cultural traditions, over time spans that require multidisciplinary and multicultural collaborative perspectives. The central importance of nations touched by the Pacific in contemporary world affairs cannot be understood without recourse to the deep history of interactions on and across the Pacific. In reflecting the diversity and dynamism of the societies of this blue hemisphere, these volumes seek to enhance world histories and broaden readers' perspectives on forms of historical knowledge and expression. Volume I explores the history of the Pacific Ocean pre-1800 and Volume II examines the period from 1800 to the present day.

Recensioner i media

'The Cambridge History of the Pacific Ocean will be an authoritative resource for students and scholars. Each chapter functions both as a concise overview (useful for quickly getting up to speed or to assign for course readings) and as a point of departure, brimming with relevant footnotes and possibilities for further reading and research. Readers interested in a particular theme, time period, or geography will be able to assemble rewarding itineraries through multiple essays. Ultimately, these volumes are like a set of charts, inviting readers to plot their own voyages through the Pacific Ocean's many histories and into its onrushing future.' Sean Fraga, BC Studies: The British Columbian Quarterly
