Produktbeschreibung

In the early 20th century, Pacific Rim governments urgently needed to rethink European colonialism. Aschenbrenner explains the strange history of ‘adaptation to survive’ that marked the struggle between arriving and resident populations in Australia, Japan and Canada and in the US territories (Hawaii and Alaska) from 1850 to 1974.
