Description: A Primer for Teaching Pacific Histories is a guide for college and high school teachers who are teaching Pacific histories for the first time or for experienced teachers who want to reinvigorate their courses. It can also serve those who are training future teachers to prepare their own syllabi, as well as teachers who want to incorporate Pacific histories into their world history courses.
Review Quotes: "This is an inspired and inspiring text--a welcome and much needed contribution rich with resources, pedagogical innovation, and practical strategies. Conceptually exciting, it takes an 'assemblage' approach that emphasizes relationships and connections between actors and events across time. It offers a rethinking as to what constitutes the Pacific world itself--from the margins to the center, particularly from the Pacific Rim to the Oceanic basin--all while emphasizing connectivity in relation to global histories."--J. Kehaulani Kauanui, author of "Paradoxes of Hawaiian Sovereignty: Land, Sex, and the Colonial Politics of State Nationalism"
