Description: University of Texas Press, 1979. Hardcover. "Three forces-dwindling British power, rising American influence, and nationalism in a variety of forms-have transformed Australia, New Zealand, and the adjacent islands since 1919. In this volume, some of the most distinguished scholars of the Pacific region assess these significant changes. These essays deal with international relations, politics, changing social structures, and literature since World War I. The themes are social and humanistic; evolution of both a regional identity and separate national identities in the Southwest Pacific."
