About this product

Product Information

A lively living history of anti-colonialist movements across the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans Despite its small landmass in relation to other continents, Oceania has been the site of large-scale political struggles and immensely significant historical processes. Pasifika Black is a compelling history of anti-colonial movements in this understudied region, exploring how Oceanic activists intentionally forged international connections in their fight for liberation. Drawing from research conducted across Fiji, Australia, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, Britain, and the United States, Quito Swan shows how liberation struggles in Oceania actively engaged Black internationalism in their diverse fights against colonial rule. Pasifika Black features as its protagonists the many playwrights, organizers, religious leaders, scholars, Black Power advocates, musicians, environmental justice activists, feminists, and revolutionaries who carried the banners of Black liberation across the globe. It puts artists like Aboriginal poet Oodgeroo Noonuccal and her 1976 call for a Black Pacific into an extended conversation with Nigeria's Wole Soyinka, the Nuclear Free and Independent Pacific's Amelia Rokotuivuna, Samoa's Albert Wendt, anthropologist Angela Gilliam, the NAACP's Roy Wilkins, West Papua's Ben Tanggahma,New Caledonia's Dewe Gorodey, and Polynesian Panther Will'Ilolahia. In so doing, Swan displays the links Oceanic activists consciously and painstakingly formed in order to connect Black metropoles across the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. In a world grappling with the global significance of Black Lives Matter and state-sanctioned violence against Black and Brown bodies, Pasifika Black is a both triumphant history and tragic reminder of the ongoing quests for decolonization in Oceania, the African world, and the Global South.

Reviews
Pasifika Black enriches an emerging literature tracing underexplored strands of black internationalism in the twentieth century. Swan demonstrates that black Pacific activists actively built solidarity with other African Diaspora subjects in the 1960s and 70s, even as Pan Africanists and internationalists elsewhere focused on struggles in Southern Africa and other more visible locales. In Pasifika Black we learn that political actors in often-overlooked corners of the African Diaspora bolstered local freedom quests and forged international linkages through radical reappropriations of black identity. Swan's impressive scope and multidisciplinary approach open new vistas on the politics of global liberation., Pasifika Black is an exceptionally brilliant, well-researched, and powerful account of how Black and Brown freedom fighters mobilized across the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans to challenge racism, colonialism, and white supremacy. It represents the very best of the new scholarship on Black internationalism., Pasifika Black advances and problematizes scholarly conceptions of the 'Black Pacific' and 'Afro-Asian solidarity,' as well as highlighting histories that have not been included in dominant historical examinations of African Diaspora radicalism and twentieth-century Black internationalist movements. This is a groundbreaking contribution.

Purchased a book but seller cancelled it due to being out of stock, which I had to find out on my own because I was never contacted. I contacted for a refund because cancellation failed and seller never replied. I had to open a case.
