Pacific Worlds: Indigeneity, hybridity, and globalization. HERMAN, R. D. K. Verge: Studies in Global Asias, 4(2):15–24, 2018. ![Pacific Worlds: Indigeneity, hybridity, and globalization [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex Created in 2000, the Pacific Worlds project works to portray Pacific Island communities through the words of community members themselves. The premise is that, despite climatic, linguistic, and material-culture similarities, each Pacific Island culture presents a complete and distinct worldview. And these worldviews developed in situ, through generations of interactions between the people and the environment. This kind of locally-developed human-environment knowledge is the cornerstone of what I call “indigeneity.” I contrast “indigeneity” with “modernity,” the mode of human-environment interaction based on industrial capitalism and characterized by commodification and exploitation of the environment. In this essay, I look at Indigeneity in three Pacific Island locations: Palau, Guam and the Hawaiian Islands, looking that the tensions between indigeneity and the modernity brought by waves of colonization from Europe, Asia and the United States.
