Abstract

[Extract] In his descriptive and readable account of radio in the Pacific, Robert Seward turnes into an arena of cultural production in which local narratives and musical beats contribute to the tone and rhythm of life across a number of island nations. Writing in detail about radio production and consumption - from the Solomon Islands, to Vanuatu, Fiji, Tonga and Hawaii - Radio Happy Isles charts the contours of this Pacific mediascape. 'The map I have come away with is not a big blue sea with specks of brown, but a full space of overlapping voices heard on the radio.' (p.7)
