Book Description
This book examines the relationships between theatrical representations and socio-political aspects of Rapa Nui culture from pre-colonial times to the present. This is the first book written about the production of Rapa Nui theatre, which is understood as a unique and culturally distinct performance tradition. Using a multilingual approach, this book journeys through Oceania, reclaiming a sense of connection and reflecting on synergies between performances of Oceanic cultures beyond imagined national boundaries. The author argues for a holistic and inclusive understanding of Rapa Nui theatre as encompassing and being inspired by diverse aspects of Rapa Nui performance cultures, festivals, and art forms. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of Indigenous studies, Pacific Island studies, performance, anthropology, theatre education and Rapa Nui community, especially schoolchildren from the island who are learning about their own heritage.

Book Description
On a long stretch of green coast in the South Pacific, hundreds of enormous, impassive stone heads stand guard against the ravages of time, war, and disease that have attempted over the centuries to conquer Easter Island. Steven Roger Fischer offers the first English-language history of Easter Island in Island at the End of the World, a fascinating chronicle of adversity, triumph, and the enduring monumentality of the island's stone guards. A small canoe with Polynesians brought the first humans to Easter Island in 700 CE, and when boat travel in the South Pacific drastically decreased around 1500, the Easter Islanders were forced to adapt in order to survive their isolation. Adaptation, Fischer asserts, was a continuous thread in the life of Easter Island: the first European visitors, who viewed the awe-inspiring monolithic busts in 1722, set off hundreds of years of violent warfare, trade, and disease—from the smallpox, wars, and Great Death that decimated the island to the late nineteenth-century Catholic missionaries who tried to "save" it to a despotic Frenchman who declared sole claim of the island and was soon killed by the remaining 111 islanders. The rituals, leaders, and religions of the Easter Islanders evolved with all of these events, and Fischer is just as attentive to the island's cultural developments as he is to its foreign invasions. Bringing his history into the modern era, Fischer examines the colonization and annexation of Easter Island by Chile, including the Rapanui people's push for civil rights in 1964 and 1965, by which they gained full citizenship and freedom of movement on the island. As travel to and interest in the island rapidly expand, Island at the End of the World is an essential history of this mysterious site.

Book Description
El 9 de septiembre de 1888 el pueblo rapanui firmó con las autoridades chilenas un tratado de buena voluntad, entendido por el primero como de amistad y de cooperación, y por las segundas como un vínculo republicano que invisibilizaba el nexo colonial. En 1895, el Estado arrendó la isla a un empresario porteño (Enrique Merlet), quien posteriormente se asoció con la empresa angloescocesa Williamson Balfour, creándose en 1903 la Compañía Explotadora de Isla de Pascua. Su instalación transformó a la isla en una estancia ganadera, despojando a los rapanui de sus tierras (los redujo a los confines de Hanga Roa) y los obligó a convertirse en sus trabajadores. De este modo, el Estado de Chile cubrió su colonialismo bajo el ropaje de una empresa moderna que explotó sin contemplación la tierra (llegó a tener 60 mil ovejas y varios miles de vacunos en solo 16 mil hectáreas) y a su población. Este proceso fue denunciado a la prensa y al parlamento por voces provenientes de la propia isla —como la del esposo de la viuda del rey Riroroko y de los deportados en 1902— y muestra a una sociedad civil chilena sensible a la explotación, pero al mismo tiempo incapaz de reconocer su colonialismo.
