An American Anthropologist in Melanesia: A. B. Lewis and the Joseph N. Field South Pacific Expedition, 1909-1913
ed. by Robert L. Welsch
"A scholarly achievement that will set the standard for any future work on past Pacific collections. (Kudos to the University of Hawai`i Press, too, for its commitment to publishing so many photographs so well.)" --The Contemporary Pacific, Fall 2002"A splendid contribution to the growing body of literature that aims to contextualize the work of social researchers and the knowledge they produce" --Journal of the History of Behavioral Sciences "This comprehensive and excellent work is an exciting move forward in publications about museum collections, combining archival material and modern analysis with raw data on the collection.... A valuable research tool for anyone working in the field." --Pitt Rivers Museum Research Centre "The two volumes are superbly produced, Welsch writes well and presents a thoroughly fascinating account of the expedition and its place in Melanesian history and anthropology." --Oceania 70 (2000)
