Abstract
Book review of Genealogies, Genomes, and Histories in the Pacific: Genetic Drift by Matt K. Matsuda, Palgrave Macmillan, 2023, ISBN 9783031454486.
Matt Matsuda’s book on genetic histories in the Pacific combines Western and Indigenous scientific understandings of why, how, when, and where, but it is the response from Indigenous communities and their own archives that strengthens the narratives within.
