Mixedness and Indigeneity in the Pacific
This special issue draws our attention to Indigenous perspectives across the Pacific and asks us to center them in our analyses of mixed race. In this issue, we will hear from a range of scholars about the perspectives and experiences of Indigenous and/or mixed-race populations in Aotearoa New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Kanaky/New Caledonia, and Guam.
