亞洲、太平洋島嶼和美洲海岸長期以來一直被分開研究。這本重要的單卷太平洋歷史追溯了數千年來將這些地區相互聯繫以及與歐洲和印度洋聯繫起來的全球互動和傑出的人民。從古老的獨木舟航海者、不朽的文明、海盜和海上帝國，到核試驗的興起和全球變暖，馬特松田跨越殖民歷史、人類學和環太平洋經濟和政治的前沿，拼湊了該地區的歷史。這本書確定並彙集了促成這段歷史的決定性線索和非凡的個人敘述，展示了本地化的接觸和競爭如何經常發展為針對殖民主義的全球鬥爭，旅遊業和亞洲經濟的崛起。作者藉鑑亞洲、大洋洲、歐洲、美洲、古代和現代的敘事，從真正的全球視角組合了一個迷人的太平洋地區。

Pacific Worlds: A History of Seas, Peoples, and Cultures

Asia, the Pacific Islands and the coasts of the Americas have long been studied separately. This essential single-volume history of the Pacific traces the global interactions and remarkable peoples that have connected these regions with each other and with Europe and the Indian Ocean, for millennia. From ancient canoe navigators, monumental civilisations, pirates and seaborne empires, to the rise of nuclear testing and global warming, Matt Matsuda ranges across the frontiers of colonial history, anthropology and Pacific Rim economics and politics, piecing together a history of the region. The book identifies and draws together the defining threads and extraordinary personal narratives which have contributed to this history, showing how localised contacts and contests have often blossomed into global struggles over colonialism, tourism and the rise of Asian economies. Drawing on Asian, Oceanian, European, American, ancient and modern narratives, the author assembles a fascinating Pacific region from a truly global perspective.
