This book explores the various ways in which different communities and peoples in Oceania respond to and engage with recent environmental challenges and concurrent socio-political reconfigurations. Based on empirical research, the book discusses topics such as belonging, emotional attachment to land, and new forms of environmental knowledge. The theoretical framework of the book is inspired by current debates among diverse conceptualisations of the environment and thus, of various ways of knowing, making sense of, and interacting with worlds. With this focus in mind, the book provides new insights into recent socio-cultural and environmental dynamics in the Pacific. 


Eveline Dürr is Professor of Social and Cultural Anthropology at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, Germany. She has worked in New Zealand, Mexico, and the US. Her research addresses environmental issues, urban inequality, and mobilities.




Arno Pascht is Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, Germany. He has worked in the Cook Islands on land tenure and chiefs today, and is currently conducting a project investigating the localizing of global climate change policies in Vanuatu.
