.,."Goetzfridt's volume fills an important void....especially
valuable for documenting scholarship that has appeared in
journals...or released by publishers...often unknown or
undistributed in the Northern Hemisphere....It is an indispensable
research tool for any scholar who contemplates research into South
Pacific literature, and is a must for any academic library with
significant global multicultural holdings."-Multicultural

?Complementing the author's earlier Indigenous Navigation and
Voyaging in the Pacific this book extends coverage to international
reactions to the literature written by Oceanic authors. The
bibliography and the extensive indexes are valuable in themselves.
For all libraries interested in this often neglected part of world
literature.?-Choice
?The brief foreword by Fijian playwright Vilsoni Hereniko is of
great assistance inthat it both provides a lively and succinct
account of the emergence and rapid development of Pacific
literature, and outlines the ongoing argument over the kind of
standards by which the new literature should br judged: whether by
European standards or by indigenous standards.?-ARBA
