Double Ghosts: Oceanian Voyagers on Euroamerican Ships By David A. Chappell
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 908KB
Overview: This compelling narrative recounts the 18th and 19th century shipping out of Pacific Islanders aboard European and American vessels, a kind of counter-exploring that echoed the ancient voyages which settled their island. The author weaves numerous local, regional and national accounts into a single narrative that builds to a history of cross-cultural contact. Based on an exhaustive search and summary of primary source material, the work shows that non-Europeans played a dynamic role in the integration of the world economy and the many forms of acculturation that ensued. Chappell explains the significance of shipping out as a world history phenomenon and demonstrates that European expansion was a two-sided process involving a variety of participants.
