Culture and identity in literature of the South Pacific
This paper offers an interpretation of fiction written by South Pacific writers Albert Wendt and Witi Ihimaera. Wendt and Ihimaera depict in their literature South Pacific islanders living separated from their past and its traditions, and therefore living separated from their own identities.
