and of the Pacific Islands. He is the author of a number of
articles on these topics, is one of the contributors to The New
Oxford History of New Zealand, has authored a short textbook series
on the
history of Polynesia, and is one of the editors of the forthcoming

This is a complex and dense book ... Salesa's study breaks new
ground in understanding the importance of interracial intimacy in
forging new societies.
