Over dit product

Product Information

Winner of the 2013 ICAS Book Prize (Social Sciences) The "Tahiti" that most people imagine - white-sand beaches, turquoise lagoons, and beautiful women - is a product of 18th century European romanticism and persists today as the bedrock of Tahiti's tourism industry. This postcard image, however, masks a different reality. The dreams and desires that the tourism industry promotes distract from the medical nightmares and environmental destruction caused by France's 30-year nuclear testing program in French Polynesia. Tahitians see the burying of a bomb in their land as deeply offensive. For Tahitians, the land abounds with ancestral fertility, and genealogical identity, and is a source of physical and spiritual nourishment. These imagined and lived perspectives seem incompatible, yet are intricately intertwined in the political economy. Tahiti Beyond the Postcard engages with questions about the subtle but ubiquitous ways in which power entangles itself in place-related ways. Miriam Kahn uses interpretive frameworks of both Tahitian and European scholars, drawing upon ethnographic details that include ancient chants, picture postcards, antinuclear protests, popular song lyrics, and the legacy of Paul Gauguin's art, to provide fresh perspectives on colonialism, tourism, imagery, and the anthropology of place.

Reviews
"Miriam Kahn shows how the glamorous image of Tahiti is a fabrication, from the white sand strategically placed on its beaches to the postcard of a French woman alluringly posed as a Tahitian. Tahiti Beyond the Postcard is provocative and original, and makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of the contradictions associated with tourism and the politics of space in Tahiti." -Stuart Kirsch, University of Michigan, "This is a work for scholars seeking a dual view of both Polynesian and European perspectives and practices from one of the most mythical places in the world." - Matt Matsuda , Pacific Historical Review , February 2012, "A welcome addition to any ethnography course focusing on the Pacific, as well as courses or sholarship concerning tourism, the philosophy of space and place, the military in the Pacific, and the effects of colonialism. . . . any museum studies or museum anthropology course . . ." Jennifer Wagelie , Pacific Affairs, "Miriam Kahn shows how the glamorous image of Tahiti is a fabrication, from the white sand strategically placed on its beaches To The postcard of a French woman alluringly posed as a Tahitian. Tahiti Beyond the Postcard is provocative and original, and makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of the contradictions associated with tourism And The politics of space in Tahiti." -Stuart Kirsch, University of Michigan, "Tahitian salvation from the pretty picture could get ugly . . . but at least Kahn's book already alerts the international media to scrutinize Tahiti and French Polynesia under critical commentary, and not just the travel pages." - Frances Mae Carolina Ramos , Journal of Contemporary Asia , Vol. 43:2, "Kahn foregrounds the intertwined European and indigenous histories and experiences that constitute Tahiti and provide us with Tahitian's perspectives on life in a place that figures so centrally in historical and contemporary imaginings of tropical paradise. . . . methodologically and ethnographically rich." - Colleen Ballerino Cohen , American Anthropologist , September 2012
