Epeli Hau’ofa (1939-2009) played a crucial role in reimagining the place and status of the people of the Pacific Islands in the global community. Tongan by name, Papuan by birth, Tongan, Fijian, Canadian and Australian by education, and Fijian by
citizenship, he embraced the lives of everyone whose destiny is wedded to Oceania. Yes, Oceania, a maritime continent whose islands are woven into a thriving web of seaways.
Scholar, satirist and founding director of the Oceania Centre for Arts and Culture at the University of the South Pacific in Suva, Epeli Hau’ofa inspired an entire generation of fellow Oceanians, from poets to politicians and artists to academics

"First published in 1993 and Revised and reprinted 1994 under the title: Te Tikisionale o te ʻGana Tuvalu - A Tuvaluan-English Dictionary by Oceania Printers, Suva, Fiji [...] 2023 edition re-published by Pacific Studies Press, Suva, Fiji"

The second generation of Pacific historians, who began their careers in the 1970s and 1980s, is gradually fading from the academic scene. They have made fundamental contributions to the field of Pacific history, enduring in their impact, and the identity of the discipline is now firmly established.

Almost without exception, they did not choose Pacific history but rather stumbled into the field through serendipity

A CELEBRATION OF AN EXCITING NEW THREAD IN THE LITERATURE OF AOTEAROA To write poetry in New Zealand as a Pacific migrant is an act of wayfinding, a creative process of discovery and negotiation between cultural spaces. This collection of 137 poems by 89 Aotearoa-based Pacific poets explores that navigation. This significant collection ranges from long-established voices such as Albert Wendt, Selina Tusitala Marsh and David Eggleton and the powerful newer voices of poets such as Tusiata Avia, Courtney Sina Meredith, Karlo Mila and Grace Iwashita-Taylor to new and emerging voices. Deep and rich, like Moana Oceania itself, it shows Pasifika poetry to be in a constant state of 'old and new', of haharagi and lelea' mafua, a lively and evolving continuum.

"Disturbing History focuses on Fiji's people and their agency in responding to and engaging the multifarious forms of authority and power that were manifest in the colony from 1874 to 1914. By concentrating on the lives of ordinary Fijians, the book presents alternate ways of reconstructing the island's past
