Description
“Sea People is a roaring success.… A deeply interesting read, and at points incredibly
moving.― (NPR)“Compelling.… These pages will unleash the imagination [and] spark
insight.―(National Geographic)“Sea People is a rich compendium of the ways Polynesia has
been pinned down on the maps of geography, history, and culture through the centuries. As
Thompson so eloquently shows, such descriptions are only half of a story.― (Harperâ€s
Magazine)“I loved this book. I found Sea People the most intelligent, empathic, engaging, wideranging,
informative, and authoritative treatment of Polynesian mysteries that I have ever read.
Christina Thompsonâ€s gorgeous writing arises from a deep well of research and succeeds in
conjuring a lost world.― (Dava Sobel, bestselling author of Longitude and The Glass Universe
)“Christina Thompson…is perhaps ideally placed to try to answer the question [of Polynesian
origins] – and in Sea People, her fascinating and satisfying addition to an already considerable
body of Polynesian literature, she succeeds admirably.― (New York Times Book Review
)“Magnificent… A grand, symphonic, beautifully written book… Sea People is an archiveresearched
historical account that has the page-turning qualities of an all-absorbing mystery.― (
Boston Globe)“Christina Thompsonâ€s outstanding study brims with detail.― (Nature
)“Fascinating… A piece of beautiful nonfiction writing.― (WBAA, an NPR affiliate
)“Superb. . . . An illuminating read for amateur sleuths and professional scholars alike.― (
The Spectator)“The supra theme of Sea People is a vision of knowledge systems intertwined
– the outcome of history, cultural tolerance, and a grasp of misunderstandings. Thompsonâ€s
tone is perfectly tuned for such enlightenment, as is the life-position from which she writes.―
(Sydney Morning Herald) For more than a millennium, Polynesians occupied the remotest islands
in the Pacific Ocean, an enormous triangle stretching from Hawaii to New Zealand to Easter
Island. Sailing in large, double-hulled canoes, without the benefit of maps, writing, or metal tools,
these ancient mariners were the first and, until the era of European discovery, the only people ever
to have reached this part of the globe. Today, they are widely acknowledged as the worldâ€s
greatest navigators. But how did the earliest Polynesians reach these far-flung islands? How did
they conquer the largest ocean on the planet? Diving deep into the history of the Pacific, Christina
Thompson explores this epic migration, following the trail of the many sailors, linguists,
archaeologists, and geographers who have puzzled over this story in a quest to discover who
these ancient voyagers were, where they came from, and how they managed to colonize every
