The book begins by examining the historical roots of race and state violence in the Pacific, tracing the ways in which colonial powers imposed racial hierarchies and used violence to maintain their control over indigenous populations. The authors then show how these colonial legacies continue to shape the present-day experiences of racialized communities in the Pacific, and how they have given rise to a variety of radical movements that seek to challenge racism and state violence.

The book is divided into three main sections. The first section focuses on the historical roots of race and state violence in the Pacific, examining the ways in which colonial powers imposed racial hierarchies and used violence to maintain their control over indigenous populations. The second section looks at the contemporary experiences of racialized communities in the Pacific, and how these experiences have given rise to a variety of radical movements that seek to challenge racism and state violence. The third section examines the transnational connections between radical movements in the Pacific, and how these connections have shaped the development of global anti-racist and anti-colonial struggles.

This book is a major contribution to the scholarship on race, state violence, and radical movements in the Pacific. It provides a nuanced and comprehensive analysis of the ways in which these three forces have shaped each other over time, and it offers a valuable resource for scholars, activists, and anyone interested in the history of the Pacific region.
