The New Pacific Review = La Nouvelle Revue du Pacifique : Vol. 3, No. 1 : Proceedings of the 16th Pacific History Association Conference.

Abstract

The New Pacific Review/La Nouvelle Revue du Pacifique owes its initial impetus to the vision of the later Pierre Garrigue-Guyonnaud, French Permanent Secretary for the Pacific 1996-2002, who died in Marrakech in March 2006. This volume is dedicated to his memory. Ambassador Garrigue-Guyonnaud masterminded a major international symposium, 'Les Identities du Pacifique/Identity in the Pacific', held at the Tjibaou Centre in New Caledonia in 1999. This symposium, bringing together Anglophone and Francophone scholars from all around the Pacific, followed the successful French-Australian colloquium, 'Changing Identities in the Pacific at the Dawn of the Twenty-First Century', held at the Asutralian Embassy in Paris in 1997. The proceedings of the symposium held at the Tjibaou Centre constituted the first volume of the New Pacific Review/La Nouvelle Revue du Pacifique (2000). First paragraph of preface). Show more
