Beachcomber at the Ends of Empire
I examine the two careers of British colonial administrator and Pacific historian Henry Evans Maude (1906-2006) to illuminate continuities between the logic of late-imperialism and foundational modes of Pacific historiography.

In 1957, he joined the Department of Pacific History at the Australian National Un…

On the other, it has sometimes suffered a concomitant neglect, treated as peripheral to…
