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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a study of 'collecting' undertaken by Joseph Antoine Bruni d'Entrecasteaux and his shipmates in Tasmania, the western Pacific Islands, and Indonesia. In 1791-1794 Bruni d'Entrecasteaux led a French naval expedition in search of the lost vessels of La Pérouse which had last been seen by Europeans at Botany Bay in March 1788. After Bruni d'Entrecasteaux died near the end of the voyage and the expedition collapsed in political disarray in Java, its collections and records were subsequently scattered or lost. The book's core is a richly illustrated examination, analysis, and catalog of a large array of ethnographic objects collected during the voyage, later dispersed, and recently identified in museums in France, Norway, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and the United States. The focus on artifacts is informed by a broad conception of collecting as grounded in encounters or exchanges with Indigenous protagonists and also as materialized in other genres--written accounts, vocabularies, and visual representations (drawings, engravings, and maps). Historically, the book outlines the antecedents, occurrences, and aftermath of the voyage, including its location within the classic era of European scientific voyaging (1766-1840) and within contemporary colonial networks. Particular chapters trace the ambiguous histories of the extant collections. Ethnographically, contributors are alert to local settings, relationships, practices, and values; to Indigenous uses and significance of objects; to the reciprocal, dialogic nature of collecting; to local agency or innovation in exchanges; and to present implications of objects and their histories, especially for modern scholars and artists, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous.

Download or read book Edwards s Australasian Catalogue written by Francis Edwards and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Edwards's Australasian Catalogue: Catalogue of Books Relating to Australasia, Malaysia, Polynesia, the Pacific Coast of America, and the South Seas The present catalogue contains the titles of over three thousand different publications relating to Australasia, Malaysia, Polynesia, and the Pacific Ocean, all of which have been accumulated from private libraries and public sales during the last two years. Such an extensive collection in this branch of geography never having been offered for sale before, it has been my desire that the catalogue should serve as a "Book Prices Current" on the subject. The prices are fair and reasonable, even at a time like the present when competition is keen; for, with the increase of libraries and collectors, the tendency must be upward, especially of items known to be out of print, scarce, or rare. I believe the catalogue will also be found bibliographically useful. Compiled for the most part by an expert, Mr. E. A. Petherick, F.R.G.S., it contains a series of classified Indexes of Subjects and Authors, and many valuable and interesting notes from his long-promised and much-needed "Bibliography of Australasia and Polynesia" an abridged prospectus of which will be found on page 220. The authorship of anonymous works where known is given in brackets thus: [Carter (Charles Rooking)]. Where the place of publication is not stated London is understood. As the literature of Australasia is a growing one, I hope from time to time to issue supplements to the present catalogue, and shall be glad to have the names of librarians and gentlemen who collect books or pamphlets on the subject. Lists of desiderata will be carefully attended to; offers of duplicates for sale or exchange are invited.

Download or read book Australian Travellers in the South Seas written by Nicholas Halter and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2021-02-08 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a wide-ranging survey of Australian engagement with the Pacific Islands in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Through over 100 hitherto largely unexplored accounts of travel, the author explores how representations of the Pacific Islands in letters, diaries, reminiscences, books, newspapers and magazines contributed to popular ideas of the Pacific Islands in Australia. It offers a range of valuable insights into continuities and changes in Australian regional perspectives, showing that ordinary Australians were more closely connected to the Pacific Islands than has previously been acknowledged. Addressing the theme of travel as a historical, literary and imaginative process, this cultural history probes issues of nation and empire, race and science, commerce and tourism by focusing on significant episodes and encounters in history. This is a foundational text for future studies of Australia’s relations with the Pacific, and histories of travel generally.
