Publisher's summary

This volume in a series of world history case studies explores racism, imperialism, and indigenous resistance to nineteenth century Christian missionary activity in the South Pacific by shedding light on the experiences of a convert named Ta’unga. Born in the Cook Islands, Ta’unga dedicated his life to promoting Christianity in New Caledonia, Vanuatu, and Samoa, but also struggled to have his work be fully appreciated by his supervisors in the London Missionary Society. As an intermediary between two worlds, Ta’unga’s struggles illustrate the complexities of the cultural interactions between Islanders and Europeans in an era of significant social and economic change in the Pacific.
