Summary

"Thomas and Eves have addressed a topic of significant concern--the complex particularities of colonial culture and practice. "Bad Colonists" is more than a collection of annotated letters. It is a well-researched and elegantly conceived book that makes an important contribution to colonial history, Pacific culture, and anthropology."--Don Brenneis, University of California at Santa Cruz
