Alyssa A. Hunziker considers how American imperialism in the Pacific—typically thought of as separate from the colonisation of North America—is deeply intertwined with US settler colonialism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy examining novels, poems, and archival records, Hunziker analyses literary convergences between global Indigenous communities, and uses an Indigenous transpacific methodology to examine how contemporary authors from Native America, Hawai'i, Guam, the Marshall Islands, and the Philippines reimagine and uncover their historical connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the colonial archive has been discussed in both postcolonial and Indigenous studies, archives appear frequently in contemporary Indigenous fiction. Hunziker contends that Indigenous authors use literary form to emphasise seemingly peripheral, or \"extra,\" histories that have been erased from official US records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUsing literary archives—like a character’s collection of calendars, a degrading film reel, or a discovery of unorganised notes—alongside discussions of institutional archives, the authors under discussion subvert Indigenous erasure by questioning how history is told, and which stories go unrecognised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47934084153580,"sku":"9781469695655","price":308.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781469695655-histories-in-common.jpg?v=1783893992"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/alyssa-a-hunziker.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
