Tensions océaniennes: Modernités et fractures postcoloniales dans le Pacifique insulaire
This volume examines how Pacific Island societies navigate the fault lines of postcolonial modernity. Bringing together case studies from French Polynesia, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji, and Hawaiʻi, it explores the contradictions between customary practices and state institutions, the pressures of globalization and economic dependency, and the resurgence of Indigenous claims. The book highlights how these tensions shape everyday life, political struggles, and social transformations across Oceania.

Familly Violence and Social Change in the Pacific Islands
This volume brings together in-depth research from across Oceania to explore how family life, gender relations, and violence are being reshaped by rapid social, economic, and political change. The contributions show how customary practices, state policies, and global forces intersect in everyday struggles, highlighting both the persistence of violence and the creative ways Pacific communities respond to it. The book offers new insights into the complex dynamics of family, power, and social transformation in the region. (Co-edited with Loïs Bastide, Routledge, 2023)
