In her 2005 New Year’s greetings, Marie-No\u00eblle Th\u00e9mereau<\/a>, the President of the New Caledonian<\/a> government, expressed her confidence in the future of her multiracial country, echoing the recognition of New Caledonia’s demographic make-up in official discourse since the Noumea Accord (1998)<\/a>. This view of New Caledonian society has not, however, always been so optimistic or encompassing. The island’s mixed population of some 230,000 has given rise over the years to social and political tensions. In this context, representations of Self and Other found in the island’s literature, particularly as they concern the historically highly contentious issue of biological and cultural interaction, provide valuable perspectives on this subject, enabling us to trace the evolution of local attitudes to the question of m\u00e9tissage and acquire a broader vision of the lived experience of the island’s population.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
