His most recent book is Voyagers: the settlement of the Pacific (2020). Nicholas Thomas, Editor Nicholas Thomas is Professor of Historical Anthropology and Director of the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology at the University of Cambridge. Her most recent book is Intimate Strangers: Friendship, Exchange and Pacific Encounters (2010). Her interest in the Bounty stories has morphed from a focus on beachcomber narrative, via an excursus on breadfruit, to an exploration of the colonialist politics of the Pitcairn island settlement, and analysis of the shifting allegiances manifest in the mutiny and the mutineers’ trial. More recently she has focused on Tahiti and the Hawaiian and Marquesas Islands while exploring the politics of friendship in contacts between Oceanians and Europeans.

She began visiting the Pacific islands in 1994 while researching the early impact of print culture in Samoa and Tonga. Vanessa Smith, Editor Vanessa Smith teaches at the University of Sydney, where she is Associate Professor in the Department of English, and publishes across the disciplines of literary studies, history, and anthropology.

The book fully identifies the Tahitian people and places that Morrison refers to and makes this remarkable text accessible for the first time to all those interested in an extraordinary chapter of early Pacific history. The editors assess and explain Morrison’s observations of Islander culture and social relations, both on Tubuai in the Austral Islands and on Tahiti itself. It is based directly on a close study of Morrison’s original manuscript, one of the treasures of the Mitchell Library in Sydney, Australia. Mutiny and Aftermath is the first scholarly edition of this classic of Pacific history and anthropology. This is the most insightful and wide-ranging of early European accounts of Tahitian life.
#AFTERMATH ISLAND PROFESSIONAL#
Morrison was not a professional scientist but a keen observer with a lively sympathy for Islanders. In doing so, he gained a deeper understanding of Polynesian culture than any European who went on to write about the people of the island and their way of life before it was changed forever by Christianity and colonial contact. In the aftermath, Morrison was among those who tried to make a new life on Tahiti.
#AFTERMATH ISLAND FULL#
This book publishes a full and absorbing narrative of the events by one of the participants, the boatswain’s mate James Morrison, who tells the story of the mounting tensions over the course of the voyage out to Tahiti, the fascinating encounter with Polynesian culture there, and the shocking drama of the event itself. We concluded that trauma-related shame and guilt are related to mental health after mass trauma.The mutiny on the Bounty was one of the most controversial events of eighteenth-century maritime history. Shame and guilt were both uniquely associated with PTS reactions after adjusting for terror exposure, gender, and other potential confounders (frequent shame: B = 0.54, frequent guilt: B = 0.33). In the month previous to the interview, 44.1% ( n = 143) of participants had experienced at least some guilt for what happened during the attack, and 30.5% ( n = 99) had experienced at least some shame. Multiple linear regression analyses were employed to investigate associations. Interviews were conducted with 325 of the 490 survivors 4 to 5 months after the event. This study investigates the potential associations of trauma-related shame and guilt with posttraumatic stress (PTS) reactions after the terrorist attack of Jon Utøya Island in Norway. Little is known, however, about shame and guilt following mass traumas, such as terrorism. In recent years, there has been increased interest in trauma-related shame and guilt and their relationship to mental health.
