Publié par:Robbins Joel

Contenu

Examining the kinds of efforts that have been made to adopt Western modernity in Melanesia, this work also explores the reasons for their varied outcomes. Taking up Professor Marshall Sahlins' work as a starting point, it acknowledges importance of his ideas, while refining and critiquing them with a knowledge of Pacific island societies.
