Product Information
Offers a fascinating window into how the fraught politics of apology in the East Asian region have been figured in anglophone literary fiction. The Pacific War, 1941-1945, was fought across the world's largest ocean and left a lasting imprint on anglophone literary history. However, studies of that imprint or of individual authors have focused on American literature without drawing connections to parallel traditions elsewhere. Beyond Hostile Islands contributes to ongoing efforts by Australasian scholars to place their national cultures in conversation with those of the United States, particularly regarding studies of the ideologies that legitimize warfare. Consecutively, the book examines five of the most significant historical and thematic areas associated with the war: island combat, economic competition, internment, impris-onment, and the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Throughout, the central issue pivots around the question of how or whether at all New Zealand fiction writing differs from that of the United States. Can a sense of islandness, the 'tyranny of distance, ' Maori cultural heritage, or the political legacies of the nuclear-free movement provide grounds for distinctive authorial insights? As an opening gambit, Beyond Hostile Islands puts forward the term 'ideological coproduction' to describe how a territorially and demographically more minor national culture may accede to the essentials of a given ideology while differing in aspects that reflect historical and provincial dimensions that are important to it. Appropriately, the literary texts under examination are set in various locales, including Japan, the Solomon Islands, New Zealand, New Mexico, Ontario, and the Marshall Islands. The book concludes in a deliberately open-ended pose, with the full expectation that literary writing on the Pacific War will grow in range and richness, aided by the growth of Pacific Studies as a research area.

Reviews
Although it derives from "peacemaking" ( pacificus ) etymologically, the term "the Pacific" cannot fail to provoke the memory of war ironically. What McKay reveals in this book is not so much the political causes as the literary effects of the war, effects that foregrounded the power of nations by means of racialized stereotypes in narrative form. ---Takayuki Tatsumi, Keio Academy of New York, author of Full Metal Apache: Transactions Between Cyberpunk Japan and Avant-Pop America., This articulately written monograph comprises close readings of several individual works of fiction from the United States and New Zealand, within an illuminating framework of historical and cultural contexts. The result is an insightful exploration of the ways in which our 'selves' and the 'other,' as confronted in war, have been inscribed. ---Heather Neilson, University of New South Wales, Canberra, past president of the Australian and New Zealand American Studies Association; past editor of the Australasian Journal of American Studies., Although it derives from "peacemaking" ( pacificus ) etymologically, the term "the Pacific" cannot fail to provoke the memory of war ironically. What McKay reveals in this book is not so much the political causes as the literary effects of the war, effects that foregrounded the power of nations by means of racialized stereotypes in narrative form. ---Takayuki Tatsumi, Keio Academy of New York, author of Full Metal Apache: Transactions Between Cyberpunk Japan and Avant-Pop America, Beyond Hostile Islands is an insightful and rewarding investigation of Pacific War literature, particularly that which confronted the economic rise of Japan in the 1980s and that which turned away from the atomic bombings of 1945. By comparing representations of the war across two different canons, the United States' and New Zealand's, McKay is able to bring a strong light to bear on this under-examined area of literary history. ---Ian M. Richards, Osaka Metropolitan University, author of To Bed at Noon: The Life and Art of Maurice Duggan., A meditative and incisive reading of literature about WWII, Beyond Hostile Islands is book of brilliant comparisons: of US and Aotearoa-New Zealand literatures and of the bellicose topics of combat, internment, propaganda, and nuclear munitions. McKay's reading of what was known as "The Pacific War" takes a hard look at the ambivalences of war and its aftermath, providing a much-needed addition to Anglophone literary and cultural criticism and a new conversation about contemporary American and New Zealand island literatures. ---Rebecca Weaver-Hightower, Virginia Tech University, author of Empire Islands: Castaways, Cannibals, and Fantasies of Conquest in Post/Colonial Island Narratives, In this engagingly-written book, McKay has convincingly bridged the fields of literary studies and memory studies to offer a nuanced and thought-provoking account of the Pacific War in Anglophone literature. The New Zealand/Pacific Islands perspective adds a fresh comparative angle to the more familiar issues within US-Japan literary representations. The impressive range of (hi)stories discussed covers the well-known (Bridge on the River Kwai) to the all-but-forgotten (Japanese internment in New Zealand). ---Philip Seaton, Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, author of Japan's Contested War Memories: The 'Memory Rifts' in Historical Consciousness of World War II, Beyond Hostile Islands is an insightful and rewarding investigation of Pacific War literature, particularly that which confronted the economic rise of Japan in the 1980s and that which turned away from the atomic bombings of 1945. By comparing representations of the war across two different canons, the United States' and New Zealand's, McKay is able to bring a strong light to bear on this under-examined area of literary history. ---Ian M. Richards, Osaka Metropolitan University, author of To Bed at Noon: The Life and Art of Maurice Duggan, Daniel McKay's Beyond Hostile Islands is a well-researched and nuanced examination of fiction that deals--in various ways--with the Pacific theatre of World War II. ---Erin Mercer is Senior Lecturer in English at Massey University, and author of Telling the Real Story: Genre and New Zealand Literature, A meditative and incisive reading of literature about WWII, Beyond Hostile Islands is book of brilliant comparisons: of US and Aotearoa-New Zealand literatures and of the bellicose topics of combat, internment, propaganda, and nuclear munitions. McKay's reading of what was known as "The Pacific War" takes a hard look at the ambivalences of war and its aftermath, providing a much-needed addition to Anglophone literary and cultural criticism and a new conversation about contemporary American and New Zealand island literatures. ---Rebecca Weaver-Hightower, Virginia Tech University, author of Empire Islands: Castaways, Cannibals, and Fantasies of Conquest in Post/Colonial Island Narratives., From combat novels to the corporate thriller, Beyond Hostile Islands examines the literary history of the Pacific War, while interrogating stereotypical renditions of the Japanese. The Pacific theatre is/was intrinsically archipelagic, and McKay--aware of an uneasy US-NZ juxtaposition--warns us that source material from island cultures/authors may unsettle, but also align with, continental world views. Beyond Hostile Islands is binary-bashing: it upsets culturalist, colonialist and imperialist narratives, exposing a messier humanity, and thus uncovers commonality amidst the dissimilar. ---Godfrey Baldacchino, Professor of Sociology, University of Malta. Founding editor, Island Studies Journal; Former President, International Small Islands Studies Association (ISISA)
