Island and Ocean Ecologies
Island and Ocean Ecologies
“Island and Ocean Ecologies” investigate place and space from the perspective of the Oceanic peoples in the Pacific, to challenge the borders of nation states and to facilitate relationships between indigenous peoples of the Pacific islands.
The Pacific is the largest oceanic division on the earth and in recent years, issues surrounding global capitalism, nation, community, and ecological world in the Pacific region have sparked intriguing and provocative discussions. Such research celebrates the networking and coalition of peoples as well as the circulation of ideas and cultures in the Pacific, which we believe is crucial to contemporary ecological scholarship. We offer inputs based on the Pacific day-to-day realities to counter-act Western metaphysics and theories and supplement or challenge dominant/hegemonic approaches to imperialism, post-coloniality, indigeneity, globalization as well as ecology.
