Islanders
THE PACIFIC IN THE AGE OF EMPIRE
NICHOLAS THOMAS
This compelling book explores the lived
experience of empire in the Pacific, the last
region to be contacted and colonised by
Europeans following the great voyages of
Captain Cook. Unlike conventional accounts
which emphasise confrontation and the
destruction of indigenous cultures, Islanders
reveals there was gain as well as loss, survival
as well as suffering and invention as well as
exploitation.
Empowered by imaginative research in obscure
archives and collections, Nicholas Thomas
rediscovers a rich and surprising history of
encounters, not only between Islanders and
Europeans, but among Islanders, brought
together in new ways by explorers, missionaries
and colonists. He tells the story of the making
of empire, not through an impersonal survey,
but through vivid stories of the lives of men
and women
-
some visionary, some vicious and
some just eccentric
-
and through sensuous
evocation of seascapes and landscapes of
the Pacific. A fascinating re-creation of an
Oceanic world, Islanders offers a new paradigm,
not only for histories of the Pacific, but for
understandings of cultural contact everywhere.
Nicholas Thomas is Director of the
Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology,
and Professor of Historical Anthropology at
Cambridge University. He has travelled widely
in the Pacific. Among his books is Discoveries:
The Voyages of Captain Cook
(2003).

Beautifully written, with spell-binding vignettes. An important, original
contribution to our knowledge of life in the Pacific.

Dame Anne Salmond, author of The Trial of the Cannibal Dog: Captain Cook in
the South Seas
Islanders tells the compelling, sometimes shocking, story of the western world s
impact on the peoples of Oceania before
1900.
Using all the evidence now
available, Thomas shows that the lives of individuals, both Pacific islanders and
European newcomers, were profoundly altered as the contact became more
persistent and intrusive. A scintillating contribution not only to Pacific history, but
to the general study of relations between European and non-European peoples.
—
Glyn Williams, author of
TTie
Great South Sea
We are used to the idea of thinking of the Pacific in the age of exploration and
empire as a play-pond for the greed, ambition and curiosity of Europeans, but now
Nicholas Thomas has produced a bracing revision that
-
Antipodean-like
-
inverts
many of our assumptions about the Islanders that they supposedly discovered
and exploited. Drawing on a lifetime of research, and in vivid sinewy prose, he
brings to life an unknown world of Islander explorers, adventurers, traders, sailors,
whalers, warriors, priests and migrants
-
peoples who crisscrossed every ocean and
whose stories have never made it into Hakluyt or any voyage anthology. Surely it is
these Pacific Islanders, rather than we European intruders, who deserve to be seen
as the world s first cosmopolitans.
