00 Paperback F3169 Academic writing about Rapa Nui (called Easter Island in Euro-American parlance) remains dominated by the European imperial narrative, argues this work, and this confirms a continuing imperial pedagogical control within the disciplines of history, art history, anthropology, and environmental geography.
Apart from the island's utter remoteness, what attracts the tourists are the moai, the mysterious giant stone statues erected by the ancestors of the indigenous Rapa Nui people.
Travelers on this tour (with three length options, all departing from New York-JFK and returning to New York on July 13) will view the eclipse from Easter Island, or Rapa Nui, a UNESCO World Heritage Site thatOs famous for its ancient Moai statues.
