The civil conflict in Solomon Islands (1998-2003) is often blamed
on the failure of the nation-state to encompass culturally diverse
and politically fragmented communities. Writing of Ranongga Island,
the author tracks engagements with strangers across many realms of
life-pre-colonial warfare, Christian conversion, logging and
conservation, even post-conflict state building. She describes
startling reversals in which strangers become attached to local
places, even as kinspeople are estranged from one another and from
their homes. Against stereotypes of rural insularity, she argues
that a distinctive cosmopolitan openness to others is evident in
the rural Solomons in times of war and peace.
