Description
This volume of essays, some of which are in French, are written by leading academics from New Zealand and France about the French presence and influence in the Pacific region. A tribute to the invaluable role John Dunmore played in advancing the historical knowledge of, and scholarly interest in, the region, this collection celebrates the work of a man who was raised in France and Britain, immigrated to New Zealand in 1950, and pursued a distinguished career as academic, publisher, and writer.
