The ‘Pacific Rim’ and the ‘Pacific Century’ are now commonplace
terms, but the whole Pacific region has recently been opened up as
a field of historical inquiry. The aim of this series is to present
the historical developments and processes involved in the
multi-century ‘opening of the Pacific’ and the linking together of
the lands around and within this great ocean. Particular attention
is paid to interactions among indigenous peoples on and within the
rim, and the incoming peoples and powers of Asia, Europe, and
America. Each volume reprints a set of key studies focusing on a
defined topic, together with a new introduction and index, and is
edited by an expert in the given subject.
This series complements the successful Variorum series
An Expanding World, and at the
same time provides a research-based resource for this important
area of historical study.
