Grove Day, James Michener, and histouricism -- Conclusion : changing pre-scriptions : varieties of antitourism in the contemporary literatures of Oceania.This provocative analysis and critique of American representations of Oceania and Oceanians from the nineteenth century to the present, argues that imperial fantasies have glossed over a complex, violent history. It introduces the concept of 'American Pacificism', a theoretical framework that draws on contemporary theories of friendship, hospitality and tourism to refigure established debates around 'orientalism' for an Oceanian context.
