For how long will of Chantal Spitz’s Island of Shattered Pacific places remain haunted by the Dreams (2007), Teissier-Landgraf’s specters of colonial representational artful narrative offers a point of entry regimes, either as “detestable” images into the ongoing conversations within that should be opposed or, in a bitter the region discussed above.

At its heart beats the emergent local powers seeking to fos- uncertain and ambiguous rhythms of ter the potent appearances of political many of the insights of the Huffer/ legitimacy and authority? Saura and Fayayd / Regnault volumes. Marie Claude Teissier-Landgraf’s Indecision, fïàapiti, and the terror of Tahiti Beloved and Forbidden is a purgatory—the fear that one might thoroughly enthralling and ultimately never have the paradise of an island wrenching coming-of-age novel.
