Authored by well-established and respected scholars, this work
examines the kinds of efforts that have been made to adopt Western
modernity in Melanesia and explores the reasons for their varied
outcomes. The contributors take the work of Professor Marshall
Sahlins as a starting point, assessing his theories of cultural
change and of the relationship between cultural intensification and
globalizing forces. They acknowledge the importance of Sahlins'
ideas, while refining, extending, modifying and critiquing them in
light of their own first hand knowledge of Pacific island
societies. Also presenting one of Sahlins' less widely available
original essays for reference, this book is an exciting
contribution to serious anthropological engagement with Papua New
Guinea.
