Abstract:

This chapter points to the presence of three often-overlooked coming-of-age narrative strands in Lee Tamahori’s Once Were Warriors, in what is ostensibly a social problem film. A comparison with Alan Duff’s autobiographical novel from which the film was adapted, reveals strategies that Tamahori adopted to invest the story with a more standardized generic complexion that relates it to the Hollywood action films of filmmakers like Robert Aldrich and Sam Peckinpah and Sergio Leone’s spaghetti westerns for the sake of enlarging its box office appeal for an international audience. Finally, the discussion shows how Tamahori changed the ideological underpinnings of the story by converting Duff’s neoliberal vision of self-help into an assumption that a return to the values of traditional Māori culture is the remedy for the ills of socio-economically deprived Māori who have migrated to the city.

Abstract:

This chapter examines Taika Waititi’s hit film Boy as evidence of a shift in Māori filmmaking away from the ideals of the “Fourth Cinema” of the 1980s – that is, a purely indigenous type of representation in terms of content and form – to a new kind that is based on an acceptance of cultural hybridity and an awareness of, and receptivity to, global youth culture. In terms of the coming-of-age experience depicted in the film, the discussion links it to that which is shown in Tamahori’s Once Were Warriors, but identifies strategies Waititi adopts to palliate the representation by overlaying it with a comedic approach so as to make the spectator’s experience of the trauma to which the characters are responding more bearable.

Abstract:

This book tells the story of missionary work during the second half of the twentieth century among the Waorani (once known as “aucas”), an isolated and violent indigenous group in the Ecuadorian Amazon. The missionary-Waorani relationship began tragically in January 1956, when five young men, American missionaries, were speared to death by Wao warriors. Two years later, Elisabeth Elliot, the widow of one of the slain men, and Rachel Saint, the sister of another, with the help of a Wao woman named Dayomæ, made peaceful contact with the people who had killed their loved ones. Subsequent accounts of the Christianization of the Waorani became a success story with a powerful hold on the imaginations of American evangelicals. This book shows how Protestant missionary work among the Waorani came to be one of the missions most celebrated by evangelicals and most severely criticized by anthropologists and others who accused missionaries of destroying the indigenous culture. It argues that the global expansion of Christianity on a case-by-case basis is complicated, even messy, much more so than either mythmakers or critics wish to acknowledge. It also provides a more complete reconstruction than previously available of what happened in Ecuador during the four decades after the men were killed, focusing on the little-known missionaries who came after the five slain men and on the Waorani themselves.

Abstract:

American children’s experiences during the Cold War were complex. Both conservative and liberal Baby Boomers have romanticized the 1950s as an age of innocence, but these nostalgic narratives obscure many other histories of postwar childhood, one of which has more in common with the war years and the Sixties, when children were mobilized and politicized by the US government, private corporations, and individual adults to fight the Cold War both at home and abroad. Children battled communism in its various guises on television, in the movies, and in comic books; they practiced safety drills, joined civil preparedness groups, and helped to build and stock bomb shelters in the backyard. Children collected coins for UNICEF, exchanged art with other children around the world, prepared for nuclear war through the Boy and Girl Scouts, raised funds for Radio Free Europe, sent clothing to refugee children, and donated books to restock the diminished library shelves of war-torn Europe. Rather than rationing and saving, American children were encouraged to spend and consume in order to maintain the engine of American prosperity. In these capacities, American children functioned as ambassadors, cultural diplomats, and representatives of the United States. This book is about politicized childhood at the peak of the Cold War and the many ways that children and ideas about childhood were pressed into political service. It combines approaches from childhood studies and diplomatic history to understand the cultural Cold War through the activities and experiences of young Americans.

Abstract:

Today, the portrait of the Pacific Islander, Mai, painted by Joshua Reynolds is world-renowned as a symbol of empire and of the eighteenth century. But Reynolds painted other visitors from the New World, now forgotten. One especially haunting portrait was of a Cherokee warrior called Ostenaco, who visited Britain a dozen years before Mai. This book is less about Reynolds’s portraits than the full, complicated, and richly illuminating lives behind them. It tells the whole life story of Mai, the refugee from Ra‘iatea who voyaged with James Cook to London in the 1770s and returned home again to seek vengeance on his neighboring Islanders. It traces, for the first time, the entire biography of Ostenaco, who grew up in the southern Appalachians, engaged with colonists throughout his adulthood, and became entangled with imperial politics in complex ways during the American Revolution. And it reveals the experiences of the painter who encountered both Indigenous visitors, Reynolds himself—an artist often celebrated as a founder of modern British art but rarely seen as a figure of empire. This book interweaves all three parallel and otherwise unconnected lives together, explaining their links but also exposing some of the extraordinary diversity of the eighteenth-century world. It shows that Indigenous people pushed back and shaped European expansion far more than is acknowledged. It also reveals how much more conflicted Britons were about their empire in this era than is assumed, even while they witnessed its reach into every corner of the globe.

Abstract:

The conclusion summarizes some of the major commonalities of aerial women across time and geography, such as flying females as revealers of gender conflict. One answer to the question of why are there so many female fliers and so few male ones, is that women felt oppressed by patriarchy-induced domesticity, so tales about the freedom of aerial women were alluring to them; therefore they preserved and retold those tales. The stories and myths presented here also point to the “exceptional woman,” who has not always been a friend to other women. Additionally, aerial women have often been associated with war, or presented as a dead warrior’s reward, as goddesses hovering over battlefields, and as pilots. Overall, flight of any kind has historically empowered women.

Abstract:

The 300,000 Europeans and Eurasians residing in the Indies in March 1942 soon learned that the Japanese occupiers planned to implement political, economic, and cultural policies that would integrate the newly “liberated” colony into the “Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere.” This goal of “Japanization” was to transform everyone living in the Indies into loyal subjects of the Emperor, with one important exception: “Asia for the Asians” meant there was no place for the white race in the Netherlands East Indies (NEI). Additionally, the Japanese in the archipelago were true believers in the warrior code of Bushido, which led to widespread mistreatment of prisoners of war and spilled-over into the treatment of civilian internees. This chapter explains how the Japanese intended to eradicate Dutch civilization and how the “Asia for the Asians” philosophy and Bushido code of behavior resulted in the commission of horrific war crimes, especially against whites and Eurasians.
