520 |a "A PRIMER FOR TEACHING PACIFIC WORLD HISTORIES is a guide for college and high school educators who are creating Pacific histories syllabi for the first time, as well as those who are interested in developing new pedagogical approaches to teaching Pacific histories or in integrating Pacific histories into a world history course. Its design principles are also helpful for those who train future teachers to incorporate issues about the Pacific. This book does not argue for a particular approach to course design; it is a guide to developing a syllabus and designing assignments around an integrated set of arguments, with an underlying interpretive focus that runs throughout the course. It is designed to help teachers plan when faced with a huge array of possible subjects, methods, time-frames, evidence, and resources. Matt Matsuda uses an "assemblage approach," suggesting that Pacific histories are best understood as collected fragments, such as images, memories, popular culture narratives, and political events. In a course, the initial fragments might be students' received knowledge or stereotypes, which can be used to start a conversation about the region and correct or deepen understandings within a wider analytic framework. He emphasizes how Pacific approaches to history are different from customary western practices: in the former, oral traditions have been translated into performative approaches to teaching, with gesture, image, chant, and poetry synthesized into academic instruction, enacting history. The author places the Pacific Islands at the center of his analysis, connecting East Asia, Australasia, Southeast Asia, the Indian Ocean, South America, and North America in his lessons and teaching prompts, countering tendencies to use the term "Pacific" to mean primarily East Asian histories or North American and East Asian relations. Matsuda asks whether Pacific histories should be less about geographies, and instead about encounters, connections, and networks of shifting locales: more like a wave pattern and currents than like territorial maps. He emphasizes the fluid, constructed nature of Pacific studies, and claims that it's useful to show students ways that borders and preoccupations have transformed over time, and where "facts" are actually conventions that are consistently debated, becoming some of the fragments that can be assembled into a format called Pacific histories. In addition to serving educators who look to the Design Principles for Teaching History series for advice on designing syllabi, this book will appeal to others interested in alternative historiographies and the Pacific"--  |c Provided by publisher
