It draws people EPELI HAU‘OFA with diverse perspectives to engage with one another in ways that encourage them to com- pose richer, fuller historical narratives of the Pacifi c past. We are led to consider: What are the W. S. MERWIN strengths (and weaknesses) of Western senses of the past vis-à-vis Pacifi c Islanders’ senses of GYAN PRAKASH the past? In Remembrance, Islander and Western historians meet on equal terms. This engage- ment encourages readers to weave their own narratives, develop their own conversations, that RICHARD WHITE foster new ways for embracing the region’s past. As readers will see, Remembrance is an invita- tion to remake the region’s history. and others DR. BOROFSKY is Director of the Center for a Public Anthropology and a Professor of Anthro- pology at Hawaii Pacifi c University. He is the author or editor of eight books focusing on the current state of anthropology and Pacifi c constructions of knowledge. His publications include Making History, An Anthropology of Anthropology and “Cook, Lono, Obeyesekere, and Sahlins.” Cover art by Pegge Hopper (from Bishop Museum “Festival ’82” poster) Cover design by Nicole Hayward UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I PRESS Honolulu, Hawai‘i 96822-1888 www.uhpress.hawaii.edu Endorsements For New Open Access Edition of Remembrance of Pacific Pasts Remembrance of Pacific Pasts’ new open access edition is a liberating read. It serves as a powerful platform for decolonising hegemonic scripts of Pacific pasts through the incorporation of both western and indige- nous pacific scholars interpretations. The Longue durée outlined in Re- memberances helps us to excavate the ‘middle ground’ as the current indigenising of historical and economic forces of modernisation and de- velopment, and in so doing liberates the indigenous agency in the shap- ing of Pacific futures. Malo lava! Melani Anae, qso School of Māori Studies and Pacific Studies, Te Wānanga o Waipapa, University of Auckland This new open access edition reaffirms why Remembrance of Pacific Pasts continues to provide an essential platform from which to launch a multi-vocal, critical and engaged Pacific history. The range of authors, the breadth of their interests, and the fluency of their writing reflect the kinds of histories that we need in the Pacific, in conversation and in con- testation with each other. Chris Ballard Senior Fellow, School of Culture, History & Language, Australian National University As the chair of the 13th Festival of Pacific Arts and Culture and someone who travels extensively throughout the region, I believe this an import- ant book for anyone interested in learning about the Pacific through an indigenous lens. It puts Pacific Islander framings of the past on equal footing with those of Western academics. This book encourages each of us to bring together diverse framings and sources of the region’s past into narratives that add meaning and purpose to our lives. This is a must read! The Honorable Kalani English Senate Majority Leader, Hawaii State Legislature Pacific pasts are remade anew with each generation. As Borofsky writes in the new introduction to this volume: “history lies less in the teller than in the dialog the teller shares with his or her audience. It lies in the conver- sations.” In reissuing this book as an open access text, its editor and au- thors multiply conversations that can be provoked, goaded and guided by the deep thinkers who have contributed to Remembrance Pacific Pasts. The volume presents a confluence of ways Pacific Island pasts have been narrated, and it provides a valuable resource for those who will fashion Oceanic pasts and futures. Noelani Goodyear-Ka‘Ōpua Chair and Associate Professor, Department of Political Science, University of Hawai‘i I initially encountered many of these essays and authors as a graduate stu- dent and still recall my excitement at seeing such a powerful, eclectic set of writings gathered under one umbrella. More than a decade later, this collection continues to resonate around the region, bringing together many of the peoples and papers that shaped 20th century Pacific studies. Anne Perez Hattori Professor of History, Micronesian Studies, and Chamorro Studies, University of Guam; President, Pacific History Association; Co-Editor, The Journal of Pacific History The most engaging treatment yet of history and anthropology’s predica- ment regarding the interaction between indigenous understandings and western/academic approaches in the Pacific. This edited volume is ex- ceptional, its multidisciplinary, multivocal and multiperspective chapters; insider and outsider views of the Pacific pasts are included and interrogat- ed to produce improved holistic historical analyses. Borofsky’s combina- tion of clarity, and intellectual reflections on objectivity, representation, and narration in academic literatures of the Pacific helps us transcend the imaginary boundaries of history and culture. The new open edition should make this book accessible to a wide audience. Sa’iliemanu Lilomaiava-Doktor Associate Professor of Hawaiian-Pacific Studies, University of Hawaii-West Oahu Borofsky enables readers to surf the cultural waves that crash down upon recorded Western perceptions of the Pacific’s colonial and post-colonial period. Realizing many histories, many truths, abound in Oceania, read- ers can ride these waves recognizing that only through engagement with our varied histories can we truly negotiate a better future for Oceania wherein we can represent our stories while also honoring those of others. Accept Borofsky’s “Invitation” to remake history and you will find your- self navigating through Pacific Island histories as never before. Ian ‘Akahi Masterson Coordinator for the Ocean Education Academy, Windward Community College The new open access version of Remembrance of Pacific Pasts reminds us of why it remains an important and path-breaking work. Departing from strict chronology or discipline, it is more than an edited collection or an- thology: it is a meditation on the very nature of historical experience and understanding. Woven together by historians, anthropologists, critical studies scholars, poets, writers, activists and artists, the voices here arise to shape pasts that are fully resonant in the present. Widely praised and debated, Remembrance is an “invitation” to consider how the dynamics of encounter, exploitation, empire, memory, and the geopolitical worlds of the Pacific Islands shaped and continue to shape the making of the region’s history. Matt Matsuda Professor of History and Academic Dean of the Honors College, Rutgers University-New Brunswick In an overwash age of accelerating and intensifying scholarly publication notable for the resulting paradox of diminished attention to foundation- al volumes, it is past time to remember Remembrance of Pacific Pasts. Current and emerging scholars engaged in the study of Oceania across disciplines will find this volume

NUMBER 1707 FEBRUARY 1 9, 1955 Notes on the Birds of Northern Melanesia. 31 Passeres BY ERNST MAYR The present paper continues the revisions of birds from northern Melanesia and is devoted to the Order Passeres. The literature on the birds of this area is excessively scattered, and one of the functions of this review paper is to provide bibliographic references to recent litera- ture of the various species, in order to make it more readily available to new students. Another object of this paper, as of the previous install- ments of this series, is to indicate intraspecific trends of geographic varia- tion in the Bismarck Archipelago and the Solomon Islands and to state for each species from where it colonized northern Melanesia. Such in- formation is recorded in preparation of an eventual zoogeographic and evolutionary analysis of the bird fauna of the area. For those who are interested in specific islands, the following re- gional bibliography (covering only the more recent literature) may be of interest: BISMARCK ARCHIPELAGO Reichenow, 1899, Mitt.

  • The Great Barrier Reef History, Science, Heritage
    The Great Barrier Reef History, Science, Heritage One of the world’s natural wonders, the Great Barrier Reef stretches more than 2000 kilo- metres in a maze of coral reefs and islands along Australia’s north-eastern coastline. This book unfolds the fascinating story behind its mystique, providing for the first time a comprehensive cultural and ecological history of European impact, from early voyages of discovery to the most recent developments in Reef science and management. Incisive and a delight to read in its thorough account of the scientific, social and environmental consequences of European impact on the world’s greatest coral reef system and Australia’s greatest natural feature, this extraordinary book is sure to become a classic. After graduating from the University of Sydney and completing a PhD at the University of Illinois, James Bowen pursued an academic career in the United States, Canada and Australia, publishing extensively in the history of ideas and environmental thought. As visiting Professorial Fellow at the Australian National University from 1984 to 1989, he became absorbed in the complex history of the Reef, exploring this over the next decade through intensive archival, field and underwater research in collaboration with Margarita Bowen, ecologist and distinguished historian of science. The outcome of those stimulating years is this absorbing saga. To our grandchildren, with hope for the future in the hands of their generation The Great Barrier Reef History, Science, Heritage JAMES BOWEN AND MARGARITA BOWEN Cambridge, New York, Melbourne, Madrid, Cape Town, Singapore, São Paulo Cambridge University Press The Edinburgh Building, Cambridge , United Kingdom Published in the United States of America by Cambridge University Press, New York www.cambridge.org Information on this title: www.cambridge.org/9780521824309 © James Bowen & Margarita Bowen 2002 This book is in copyright.

  • Rotuma: Interpreting a Wedding
    ROTUMA: INTERPRETING A WEDDING Alan Howard and Jan Rensei n most societies there are one or two activities that express, in highly condensed ways, what life is all about for its members. IIn Bali it is the cockfight,1 among the Australian Aborigines the corroboree, in Brazil there is carnival. One might make a case for the Super Bowl in the United States. On Rotuma, a small iso­ lated island in the South Pacific, weddings express, in practice and symbolically, the deepest values of the culture. In the bring­ ing together of a young man and young woman, in the work that goes into preparing the wedding feast, in the participation of chiefs both as paragons of virtue and targets of humor, in the dis­ plays of food and fine white mats, and in the sequence of ceremo­ nial rites performed, Rotumans communicate to one another what they care about most: kinship and community, fertility of the peo­ ple and land, the political balance between chiefs and common­ ers, and perpetuation of Rotuman custom. After providing a brief description of Rotuma and its people, we narrate an account of a wedding in which we participated. We then interpret key features of the wedding, showing how they express, in various ways, core Rotuman values. THE ISLAND AND ITS PEOPLE Rotuma is situated approximately three hundred miles north of Fiji, on the western fringe of Polynesia. The island is volcanic in origin, forming a land area of about seventeen square miles, with the highest craters rising to eight hundred feet above sea level.

  • Post-9/11 Brown and the Politics of Intercultural Improvisation A
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE “Sound Come-Unity”: Post-9/11 Brown and the Politics of Intercultural Improvisation A Dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music by Dhirendra Mikhail Panikker September 2019 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Deborah Wong, Chairperson Dr. Robin D.G. Kelley Dr. René T.A. Lysloff Dr. Liz Przybylski Copyright by Dhirendra Mikhail Panikker 2019 The Dissertation of Dhirendra Mikhail Panikker is approved: Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside Acknowledgments Writing can feel like a solitary pursuit. It is a form of intellectual labor that demands individual willpower and sheer mental grit. But like improvisation, it is also a fundamentally social act. Writing this dissertation has been a collaborative process emerging through countless interactions across musical, academic, and familial circles. This work exceeds my role as individual author. It is the creative product of many voices. First and foremost, I want to thank my advisor, Professor Deborah Wong. I can’t possibly express how much she has done for me. Deborah has helped deepen my critical and ethnographic chops through thoughtful guidance and collaborative study. She models the kind of engaged and political work we all should be doing as scholars. But it all of the unseen moments of selfless labor that defines her commitment as a mentor: countless letters of recommendations, conference paper coachings, last minute grant reminders. Deborah’s voice can be found across every page. I am indebted to the musicians without whom my dissertation would not be possible. Priya Gopal, Vijay Iyer, Amir ElSaffar, and Hafez Modirzadeh gave so much of their time and energy to this project.

  • Fara Way Rotuma
    from Stories of the Southern Sea, by Lawrence Winkler Published as a Kindle book on December 26, 2013 Fara Way Rotuma “Their bodies were curiously marked with the figures of men, dogs, fishes and birds upon every part of them; so that every man was a moving landscape.” George Hamilton, Pandora’s surgeon, 1791 The whole scene was a moving landscape, directly under us, just over two hundred years after Captain Edwards had arrived on the HMS Pandora. He had been looking for the Bounty. We would find another. The pilot of our Britten-Norman banked off the huge cloud he had found over six hundred kilometers north of the rest of Fiji, and sliced down into it sideways, like he was cutting a grey soufflé. Nothing could have prepared us for the magnificence that opened up below, with the dispersal of the last gasping mists. A fringing reef, barely holding back the eternal explosions of rabid frothing foam and every blue in the reflected cosmos, encircled every green in nature. On the edge of both creations were the most spectacular beaches in the Southern Sea. Captain Edwards had called it Grenville Island. Two hundred years earlier, it was named Tuamoco by de Quiros, before he went on to establish his doomed New Jerusalem in Vanuatu. But that was less important for the moment. We had reestablished level flight, and were lining up on the dumbbell- shaped island’s only rectangular open space, a long undulating patch of grass, between the mountains and the ocean. Hardly more than a lawn bowling pitch anywhere else, here it was the airstrip, beside which a tiny remote paradise was waving all its arms.

    INSPIRING SCIENTISTS: DIVERSITY IN BRITISH SCIENCE FINAL REPORT Interviewee Mah Hussain Gambles (left) with neighbour and brother (front) in Islamabad, dressed as Star Trek characters . In May 2013 the Royal Society Diversity Programme began a new oral history project entitled ‘Inspiring Scientists: Diversity in British Science’, in partnership with National Life Stories at the British Library. ‘Inspiring Scientists’ has recorded the lif e stories of ten British scientists with minority ethnic heritage. Interviewees range from Professors to PhD students and the focus on science is wide, covering academia, big industry and individual entrepreneurship. 1 Contents 1 Summary 3 1.1 Work completed 3 1.2 Key findings and recommendations 4 2 Background 4 3 Table of audio interviews 6 4 Interviewee biographies 7 5 Discussion of content of interviews 10 5.1 Experience of scientific workplaces 10 5.2 Aspirations – becoming a BME scientist 12 5.3 Gender and parenting 13 2 1 Summary 1.1 Work Completed • A substantial scoping study, authored by Dr Paul Merchant (National Life Stories) and Dr Sally Horrocks (NLS/University of Leicester) and previously submitted to the Royal Society, reviewed existing oral history collections and recent literature on the ethnic composition of the British scientific workforce in order to establish the criteria for selection of interviewees for this project. • The Project Interviewer, Paul Merchant, completed ten extended audio life story interviews of between 6 and 10.5 hours with scientists of minority ethnic heritage at different stages of their careers. These were selected in conjunction with Royal Society colleagues to include a range of ethnic heritages, educational backgrounds and scientific disciplines, particularly those in which scientists with these backgrounds are under-represented.

  • 506:203 Histories of the Pacific/ Fall 2013
    506:203 Histories of the Pacific/ Fall 2013 Prof. Matt K Matsuda Office: Bishop House 212, in the Bishop Quad email: [email protected]/ [email protected] SUBJECT : China, Japan, Indonesia, Australia, Samoa, Tahiti, Eastern Island as well as the coasts of North and South America are just a few of the places covered, along with the spice trade, pirates, galleons, naval warfare, colonial societies, and scientific exploration. This course is a survey of Pacific island peoples and cultures and their relations with East Asia, Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Americas from early navigators and settlers to the colonial and postcolonial eras of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Also traces modern histories including the Pacific War, the rise of Asian economies, nuclear testing, and global warming impacts. FORMAT : Lectures and review discussion “workshops,” independent readings. OBJECTIVES : 1--Basic elements: students will have a solid grasp of key figures, cultures, events, and chronologies in Pacific History. 2--Themes: students will develop an understanding of major themes in the historical analysis of Pacific History: migration and navigation of island peoples, cross-cultural contacts, social organization, ethnic diasporas, ecological and biological crises, integration in a global commercial economy, nation-building, struggles for sovereignty and identity, legacies of colonialism and tourism. 3--Professor’s investigation: the “Pacific Century” and “Pacific Way” are two ideas which gained a great deal of attention in the last few years. What do these terms mean applied not only to the present, but to the centuries-long history of the Pacific area? We will consider not only politics, but tourism, film, and literature as creators of island histories.
