dc.typeThesis
dcterms.abstractThis study considers the projects behind particular forms of environmental change across France’s Pacific Empire. Specific attention is paid to the shifting nature of imagined, desired, and created environments as settlers, merchants, administrators, and islanders, among others, competed to manifest their vision over island landscapes. The study takes the 1931 Exposition coloniale internationale in Paris as emblematic of the colonial narratives that promoted, justified, and reinforced a particular colonial vision for the environment. It was a key moment for retrospectively considering the two developments analyzed in this study: the coffee plantation economy of New Caledonia and the phosphate mining operation on Makatea.
