Green Criminological Dialogues: Voices from Oceania

This collection intends to engage in a productive dialogue with a sample of ways of knowing and being in Oceania. Some of the articles illustrate localised understandings of the dynamics that generate injustice and erode distinctive cultures in the continent (Kingi-Thomas, Hata, Vachette Hamilton; Whitehead & Doornbos). All articles in the collection—as well as all knowledge produced in and about Oceania—must be read with the trajectory of colonialism in mind. Colonialism has altered most social dynamics in the region and largely reshaped its ecosystems. As called upon by diverse voices in decolonial, global, and Southern criminologies, conflict, crime, and resistance in the Global South must be linked to colonialism and coloniality.
