“Society Islands” is a category for books focused on the South Pacific archipelago of French Polynesia—Tahiti, Bora Bora, Moorea, Raiatea, Huahine, Taha’a, and neighboring isles. It spans travel writing and guidebooks; fiction, poetry, and memoir set amid volcanic peaks and turquoise lagoons; indigenous myths and oral histories; and histories of exploration, missionary encounters, and French colonial rule. The category also includes works on Tahitian language, navigation and seafaring, dance, tattoo, and visual arts; cultural anthropology and contemporary identity; as well as environmental studies on coral reefs, marine life, black pearls, and climate change. Together, these books illuminate the islands’ landscapes, heritage, and living cultures from ancient voyaging to modern life.
