Description

Through the paradigmatic perspectives of postcolonialism and Indigenous studies in the context of critical theory, cultural studies, and communication, this book examines how Austronesian and Oceanic seafaring and surfing have combined to create contemporary beach culture in the context of Western global expansion. In this book, Hunter H. Fine establishes a fuller understanding about the ways in which our everyday practices can illuminate aspects of power, representation, social advocacy, and truth.
