Unaisi Nabobo-Baba observed that for the various peoples of the
Pacific, kinship is generally understood as "knowledge that
counts." It is with this observation that this volume begins, and
it continues with a straightforward objective to provide case
studies of Pacific kinship. In doing so, contributors share an
understanding of kinship as a lived and living dimension of
contemporary human lives, in an area where deep historical links
provide for close and useful comparison. The ethnographic focus is
on transformation and continuity over time in Fiji, Tonga, and
Samoa with the addition of three instructive cases from Tokelau,
Papua New Guinea, and Taiwan. The book ends with an account of how
kinship is constituted in day-to-day ritual and ritualized
behavior.
