How have Maori, Pasifika and Pakeha activists incorporated the ideologies of the African diaspora into their struggle against colonial rule and racism, and their pursuit of social justice? This book challenges predominant understandings of the historical linkages that make up the (post-)colonial world. The author goes beyond both the domination of the Atlantic viewpoint, and the correctives now being offered by South Pacific and Indian Ocean studies, to look at how the Atlantic ecumene is refracted in and has influenced the Pacific ecumene. The book is empirically rich, using extensive interviews, participation and archival work and focusing on the politics of Black Power and the Rastafari faith. It is also theoretically sophisticated, offering an innovative hermeneutical critique of post-colonial and subaltern studies. The Black Pacific is essential reading for students and scholars of politics, international relations, history and anthropology interested in anti-colonial struggles, anti-racism and the quests for equality, justice, freedom and self-determination."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aTheory for a Global Age. 606 $aAfrican diaspora 606 $aAnti-imperialist movements$zPacific Area 606 $2Australasian & Pacific history 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAfrican diaspora. 615 0$aAnti-imperialist movements 676 $a327.9 700 $aShilliam$b Robbie$f1969-$0803436 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910131269403321 996 $aBlack Pacific$91804678 997 $aUNINA
