Cultural Identity and Ethnicity in the Pacific
ed. by Jocelyn Linnekin; Lin Poyer
"[T]he rich historical and ethnographic material contained in this book show that most Oceanic societies were involved in complex exchange networks and inter-island political arrangements long before the arrival of the Europeans.... The book raises very large questions about the conceptualization and organization of cultural differences, both in the Pacific and elsewhere." --Journal of the Polynesian Society "Uncovers the range of political stances and approaches to self-definition found among contemporary Pacific peoples. The essays are of high quality and clear." --Choice
