| Resumo: | New Pacific historiography emerged at a particular place and time and in a particular political context. Its founding charter promoted an island-centred approach to historical scholarship. But since its solitary beginnings in the 1950s, the sub-discipline of Pacific has taken new turns and broadened its scope. Canberra’s founding role is acknowledged, but other centres have emerged to make their own distinctive contribution. More islanders are participating in academic discourses about the islands’ past. And history is practised and performed in new, innovative ways that challenge the discipline’s foundational approach and framework. |
