Abstract

[Extract] The American viewpoint that informs this book underwrites its themes of networks and of the role of the outsider in European perceptions of the cultures of the Pacific. Harry Liebersohn is based in Clrbana-Champaign, Illinois, and has previously written about European-North American encounters. His location and experience has allowed him to produce a fresh and interesting book that has a novel awareness of the networks acting on both Europeans and Pacific Islanders in their encounters with each other in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
