Nuanua: Pacific Writing in English Since 1980 | Albert Wendt
Until the 1960s, most of the literature about Polynesia, Melanesia, and Micronesia was written by outsiders. This anthology offers short stories, extracts from novels, and poems written in the past 15 years by authors in the Cook Islands, Fiji, Kiribati, Niue, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, the Solomon Islands, Tonga, and Vanuatu. Many draw inspiration from indigenous oral traditions, while others use the techniques of oral storytelling and recitation. All are in English. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
