Casting Stones with Intent
In the summer of 2020, on the wave of the Black Lives Matter Movement, statues and public monuments became focal points of political struggle, perceived by many as symbolic reminders of pervading western imperial legacies. Yet, the debate over public memorialisation is far from new. Starting from the 2020 BLM protests in Britain and going back to previous campaigns, this article contextualises the toppling, effacing and removal of well-known stat…
Repurposing Fantasy Island
This essay focuses on the YA paranormal romance series Telesā by Samoan writer Lani Wendt Young to discuss how the author repurposes generic conventions to portray island identities and material realities as nuanced and complex. This is accomplished by revising three key island tropes prevalent in western popular narratives about the Pacific: the island as a lush and exotic paradise, the island as a place of sexual freedom, and the island as a si…
Introduction
This introduction to our special issue “Island Narratives of Persistence and Resistance” focuses on the ongoing proliferation of neocolonial, neoimperial and neoliberal constructions of the island in western and continental texts and discourses. It discusses the double and paradoxical logic of the island trope – which simultaneously suggests confinement and freedom, isolation and connection, over- and underdevelopment, inclusion and exclusion – a…
Competence, Complicity and Complexity
Interview with popular romance scholar Hsu-Ming Teo.In this interview, writer and academic Hsu-Ming Teo analyses the Misconceptions made by feminist critics in their approach to romantic fiction. An outstanding representative of the third wave of romance criticism, Teo highlights the pitfalls and nuances of reading popular romances and explains that current criticism relies on a distinctive genre reading competence, a respectful complicity with r…
New Zealand literature and the global marketplace
This special issue revisits some of the discussions which Patrick Evans brought up 20 years ago to explore a range of writing, performing, publishing, teaching and marketing practices and strategies. The overall aim is to reflect on the extent to which national and regional labels, essential to the definition and development of Aotearoa New Zealand’s identity and cultural expression in the colonial and postcolonial periods, are being discarded by…
"Sarah Lark's landscape novels and the "New Zealand exotic
This article focuses on Sarah Lark’s first New Zealand trilogy, historical romances set in New Zealand and marketed as “landscape novels”. After a brief analysis of the landscape boom, it focuses on the novels’ construction of the “New Zealand exotic”, a landscaped version of New Zealand history and culture designed for the global literary marketplace which proves the enduring power of exoticizing discourses. The article argues that the novels cr…
Contemporary Pasifika Poetry in Aotearoa New Zealand
In this interview conducted in the English Department at the University of Auckland in July 2019, the poet-scholar Selina Tusitala Marsh touches on many aspects of her pioneering role as the pre-eminent woman poet writing about the Pacific in Aotearoa New Zealand. She discusses the responsibilities associated with being the country’s Poet Laureate (2017–19), as the first Pasifika person to be awarded this office; the symbolic nature of her tokoto…
Fighting Gastrocolonialism in Indigenous Pacific Writing
With one of the world’s highest percentages of obesity and its related diseases, especially cardiovascular problems and diabetes, the Pacific is perhaps one of the places in the world where the consequences of “gastrocolonialism” have become more damaging. This essay considers food consumption patterns by Pacific Islanders both in their home countries and in diaspora and engages with the critical conversation started by several Indigenous Pacific…

Food for thought’
Through the analysis of Fleeting Beauty (2004) by Virginia Pitts, Eating Sausage (2004) by Zia Mandviwalla and Coffee and Allah (2007) by Sima Urale, three short films whose plots revolve around food and drink, I consider recent debates concerning Aotearoa/New Zealand's increasing ethnic and cultural diversity and its filmic representations. My argument is that these films can be read metaphorically as attempts to nourish current social and polit…
Revised spectacles
This article examines literary revisions of Hollywood's filmic narratives of the Pacific as seen in Sia Figiel's novel, They Who Do Not Grieve (1999), Tusiata Avia's poetry collection, Wild Dogs under my Skirt (2004) and Victor Rodger's play My Name is Gary Cooper (2007). It argues that in order to question Hollywood's spectacular narratives of exotic islands and dusky maidens, these authors engage in a process of contestation through the ironic …
Reel New Zealanders
This article analyses Roseanne Liang's short film Take 3 (2008), the story of three New Zealand actresses of Chinese descent who attend a number of auditions in which they are expected to perform typical racialized and sexualized roles that continue to prevail in Western imagination and popular media. Liang's work urges the audience to question the prevalence of these popular representations, and rejects ethnic and cultural tokenism, in the conte…
Playing (with) Stereotypes in Postcolonial Pacific Theatre
Through an analysis of Vilsoni Hereniko and Teresia Teaiwa’s Last Virgin in Paradise and Oscar Kightley and Simon Small’s Fresh Off the Boat, this article looks at the subversion of Pacific stereotypes prevalent in popular representations. I employ Christopher Balme’s notion of “performance genealogies” to show how the performative nature of cross-cultural encounters which determined colonial representations of Pacific peoples is employed in post…
Migration, travel and identity in Kapka Kassabova'sReconnaissance
This article explores issues of identity as reflected in Kapka Kassabova’s first novel, Reconnaissance. After considering whether Reconnaissance should be catalogued as an example of “migrant writing”, I focus on how the author explores the processes of travel and migration through a character who performs several roles simultaneously in her struggle to negotiate her position within New Zealand society
Imag(in)ing the Nation through Maori eyes/I's
This article focuses on the contribution of Maori writers to the reconstruction of New Zealand’s national profile, with special reference to Patricia Grace’s novel Baby No-Eyes. This process has been articulated around the need to destroy colonial images and preconceptions and has allowed them to gain visibility in a society which for a long time had remained blind to Maori cultural specificity. But whereas gaining visibility constitutes an essen…
