Abstract
This chapter addresses the following question: What is Pacific Studies? The purpose is not to exclude any past or current work being done on the Pacific, but to consolidate some of the extant and latent strengths of humanities and social science work in the Pacific. It notes that over the last half century Pacific Islands Studies has produced vast quantities of material but has demonstrated no disciplinary or methodological consistency. It argues that whatever the conceptual and practical legacies of colonialism, only Pacific islanders “can make our region real.” The chapter offers up an answer to the question that emphasizes interdisciplinarity, indigenous ways of knowing, and comparative analysis before warning of the dangers of associating too closely with a potentially hegemonic Asian studies.
