点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project examines the diachronic and synchronic differences in literary representations of European settlers in the extended Pacific region including New Zealand. More precisely, the study explores the way indigenous writers from the areas, which has long been historicized and imagined only by Europeans, interprete, process, and represent the white race in their works to create a new history of their own. The project also aims at the comprehensive study on the far-extended Pacific literature such as Japanese Nanyo stories.
