Intellect is pleased to announce that Journal of New Zealand & Pacific Studies 12.1 is out now!

Special Issue: ‘New Directions for Photography in the Pacific’

Historical photographs from the Pacific produced by non-Indigenous subjects often reflect the perspectives, biases and agendas of the photographers and the societies they represented. By critically analysing these images and the contexts in which they were produced, researchers can gain a deeper understanding of the nuanced dynamics of cultural exchange, negotiation and (potentially) resistance that characterized interactions between Indigenous peoples and non-Indigenous visitors in the Pacific. Nevertheless, much of the scholarship on photography in the Pacific has been produced by settler-colonial scholars, and too often remains focused on the photographers themselves. This volume seeks to make a contribution to extant knowledge of photography in the Pacific through four articles and one report that centre Indigenous history, foreground the work of emerging scholars and highlight newly discovered collections of photographs.
