Beginning with an overview of European representations of the Pacific, Michelle Keown presents a broad-ranging introduction to the postcolonial literatures of the Pacific from the late 1960s through to the new millennium, focusing mainly on writing in English, but also exploring the growing corpus of francophone and hispanophone Pacific writing. Pacific Islands Writing is a very handy guide to the subject and will be a key reference to, and promoter of, this still under-appreciated but large corner of postcolonial literary studies. Keown and series editor Elleke Boehmer should be congratulated and every library should have a copy.
