Race in the Modern World
Few ideas have had a more powerful effect on the modern world than that of race, yet few ideas are less understood. Bringing together contributions from leading international scholars, this volume traces the crystallisation of this concept in western intellectual discourse in the eighteenth century, its rapid rise to prominence as a governing concept across the world from the mid-nineteenth through the mid-twentieth centuries, and its legacy from…

Using the past in the present for the future
This special issue is the culmination of several years of research and associated workshops in which professionals and scholars came together to talk about their work in and with museum and archival collections across the Pacific, the Americas and Europe. In this introduction, we discuss the conceptual frame of this issue—‘the museum as archive’—which is geared towards ‘using the past in the present and future’. Such cultural futures perspective …

Introduction
Behavioral inhibition in a translational nonhuman primate model
Behavioral inhibition (BI), a temperamental trait first described by Jerome Kagan, is characterized by wariness to unfamiliar persons and novel situations. BI is a moderately stable trait, with biological and genetic underpinnings. Kagan's methodology for assessing BI is widely used in humans. Although this paradigm could be readily translated for use in nonhuman primates, thereby increasing generalizability from nonhuman primates to humans and f…
Disavowing history
If the secession of formerly colonized countries from large imperial units is a story of political hope, the central actors in Quinn Slobodian's story perceive the opportunities provided by the proliferation of new jurisdictions following decolonization very differently. According to the "market radicals" of the late 20th and 21st centuries, the break-up of empire is not a story of the potential for the democratization of politics and history-wri…
Evidence from partially valid cueing that words are processed serially
There has been a longstanding debate about whether lexical and semantic processing of words is serial or parallel. We addressed this debate using partially valid cueing, where one of two words is cued. The cue was valid on 80% and invalid on the other 20% of the trials. The task was semantic categorization, and performance was measured by accuracy. The new feature was to limit attentional switching using a postmask of consonants that closely foll…
Decolonising Universities? Myth-Histories of the Nation and Challenges to Academic Freedom in Aotearoa New Zealand
Can decolonising the university create possibilities for new stories to come into being, in the wake of the devastation wrought by colonisation? In Aotearoa New Zealand a particular instance of decolonising universities is under way. This is one that highlights how engagement with decolonising approaches may end up harming academic work. In New Zealand, public universities have involved themselves in negotiating a delicate compromise between acti…
Biculturalism and Historiography in the Era of Neoliberalism
The making of the bicultural state of Aotearoa New Zealand is the product of a distinctive postcolonial and neoliberal late twentieth-century history. In this context, a predominantly anglophone settler state finally responded to decades-long claims about Indigenous dispossession by creating the Treaty of Waitangi Tribunal in 1975, an institution that a decade later took a wide-ranging approach to the investigation of historical grievances. The t…
Report on The Museum as Archive
In December 2021, the Centre for Research on Colonial Culture at the University of Otago (Dunedin campus) hosted an online symposium, convening Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars to talk about their work in and with museum and archival collections in the Pacific region. Held over three days, with morning and late afternoon sessions timed to facilitate maximum participation, attendees Zoomed in from Rapa Nui, Munich, New York, Honolulu, Sydney…

Birmingham Taking the Initiative
Turning rhetoric into reality and fully embracing the principles and practice of the Care Act 2014 in innovative, citizen-focused and creative ways has been a journey constructively embraced in Birmingham over the last two years. This has been a journey with critical learning points which incorporate theoretical reflection, managerial and practitioner innovation and an emphasis on citizen-focused co-production. This article considers the context,…
N andita S harma . Home Rule
Nandita Sharma’s Home Rule: National Sovereignty and the Separation of Migrants and Natives is a provocative critique of nation-state sovereignty—the now ubiquitous global form for political community that became a truly global phenomenon in the breakup of empire states following World War II. What Nandita Sharma calls the “Postcolonial New World Order” is, in her uncompromising account, a “farce” (273). This is because the nation-state form of s…
Endogenous cueing effects for detection can be accounted for by a decision model of selective attention
Spatial cues help participants detect a visual target when it appears at the cued location. One hypothesis for this cueing effect, called selective perception , is that cueing a location enhances perceptual encoding at that location. Another hypothesis, called selective decision , is that the cue has no effect on perception, but instead provides prior information that facilitates decision-making. We distinguished these hypotheses by comparing a s…
Indigenizing Self-Determination at the United Nations
When the United Nations General Assembly passed the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in 2007, it introduced into the international legal lexicon a new dimension to the concept of self-determination. The declaration emphasizes indigenous peoples’ distinctive rights to land, culture, language, and collective identity. It does not propose political independence or sovereign statehood, instead insisting on indigenous peoples’ equal rig…
Toward a Genealogy of the Researcher as Subject in Post/Decolonial Pacific Histories
Recent discussion has drawn out some important differences between postcolonial and decolonial theories. The former are associated primarily with the work of South Asian scholars working in cultural, literary, or historical studies; decolonial scholarship, by contrast, is located in Latin America and has emerged from sociological critiques of dependency theory. Shifting the locus of debate to the Pacific centers another subject in globalizing cri…

Between critique and creativity
This essay seizes upon two statements of Dipesh Chakrabarty, separated by almost a quarter of a century, in order to explore the tension between the distinct intellectual-political positions they represent. Following Chakrabarty’s own usage of “History 1” and “History 2,” these positions are described as “Dipesh 1” and “Dipesh 2”: they are represented, respectively, by Chakrabarty’s 1992 essay on provincializing Europe and his more recent book on…

Sacred claims and the politics of indigeneity in Australia
The claims of Indigenous peoples to sacred sites have generated far-reaching debates about identity, authenticity, and history in Australia in recent decades. This is surprising in such an avowedly secular country, where there is no constitutional or statutory recognition of principles of religious freedom. This article charts the emergence of sacred claims and their imbrication with a broader politics of indigeneity in the 1970s. These claims sh…

The Land Is Our History
"The Land Is Our History tells the story of indigenous legal activism at a critical political and cultural juncture in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. In the late 1960s, indigenous activists protested assimilation policies and the usurpation of their lands as a new mining boom took off, radically threatening their collective identities. Often excluded from legal recourse in the past, indigenous leaders took their claims to court with remarkab…
Reconciliation, indigeneity, and postcolonial nationhood in settler states
In the Commonwealth settler states of Australia, New Zealand and Canada in the last two decades, 'reconciliation' has become a key term for expressing a new relationship between indigenous and non-indigenous (primarily white settler) peoples. The term is usually associated with post-conflict societies and its use in the settler states is meant to acknowledge the historical injustices that indigenous people suffered in the colonial past. In this a…

Tracey Banivanua Mar. Decolonisation and the Pacific
Decolonisation and the Pacific: Indigenous Globalisation and the Ends of Empire is at the leading edge of an emerging third wave of studies of decolonization in the Pacific. These studies show that frameworks bound to the emergence or continuity of the nation-state are inadequate for accounting for the experiences and agency of Indigenous peoples. The first wave of these studies crested with history’s promise of self-determination in the 1960s, a…

The Case of the Million-Dollar Duck
In settler states such as Canada, indigenous peoples' claims for sovereignty in the late twentieth century became matters of intense public and political debate. Provoked by widespread indigenous rights activism of the 1970s, the Canadian state embarked on a large-scale examination of claims for rights and restitution. By focusing on the 1962 case of a duck hunter who insisted on his treaty right to hunt as he pleased in a Canadian borderlands re…
