Voyagers: The Settlement of the Pacific

byNicholas Thomas

In Voyagers, Nicholas Thomas presents a historical account centered on the Settlement of the Pacific. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the connected fields of history and social science. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. Together, these elements make Voyagers an accessible guide to the subject and the questions it continues to raise. The approach makes a specialized subject understandable without stripping away its tensions or ambiguity.
