Transpacific Americas (eBook, ePUB)

Encounters and Engagements Between the Americas and the South Pacific
Redaktion: Dürr, Eveline; Schorch, Philipp

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This volume explores cultural, social and economic connections between the Americas and the South Pacific. By approaching the Transpacific Americas as an assemblage or relational space, the book complicates the Euro-American distinction between "centre" and "rim," and provides a comprehensive understanding of recent dynamics and shifting relations across the Pacific.
