Maurer’s deep knowledge of Pacific culture, history, politics, and ecologies is especially welcome in her analysis of the creative works she studies.” -- Craig Santos-Perez, author of * Navigating Chamoru Poetry: Indigeneity, Aesthetics, and Decolonization * “Anaïs Maurer has got it right. A searingly accurate account of an ocean and peoples blasted in three places by foreign powers’ past nuclear tests and now facing climate change. Her carefully chosen and multilingual translation of works by nuclear survivors and climate activists from several Pacific countries and particularly the nuclear test countries, gives us the real feelings of Pacific peoples on the nuclear tests and climate change. This is powerful Pacific Island literature that all should read.” -- Vanessa Griffen, Ph.D., author and Fiji antinuclear campaigner “In The Ocean on Fire, Anaïs Maurer brings together an impressive archive of primary and secondary sources to highlight the understudied field of Pacific literature through two of the most urgent and profound issues: nuclearism and climate change.
