This cross-disciplinary volume explores multiple perspectives on Pacific Islander youth cultures in Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia, Hawaii, and Tonga, foregrounding social justice methodologies and programs that address the ongoing legacies of colonization, incarceration, and militarization. The ten essays highlight the ways in which youth throughout Oceania and the diaspora have embraced digital technologies to communicate across national boundaries, mobilize sites of political resistance, and remix popular media. By centering Indigenous peoples' creativity and self-determination, Reppin vividly illuminates the dynamic power of Pacific Islander youth to reshape the present and future of settler cities and other urban spaces in Oceania and beyond.
