  An analysis and critique of American representations of Oceania and Oceanians from the nineteenth century, this work argues that imperial fantasies have glossed over a complex, violent history. It introduces the concept of 'American Pacificism' to refigure established debates around 'orientalism' for an Oceanian context.
