The Anthropology of Morality in Melanesia and Beyond examines how
Melanesians experience and deal with moral dilemmas and challenges.
Taking Kenelm Burridge's seminal work as their starting point, the
contributors focus upon public situations and types of people that
exemplify key ethical contradictions for members of moral
communities. While returning to some classical concerns, such as
the roles of big men and sorcerers, the book opens new territory
with richly textured ethnographic studies and theoretical reviews
that explore the interface between the values associated with
indigenous village life and the ethical orientations associated
with Christianity, the state, the marketplace, and other facets of
'modernity'. A major contribution to the emerging field of the
anthropology of morality, the volume includes some of the most
prominent scholars working in the discipline today, including Bruce
Knauft, Joel Robbins, F.G. Bailey,A Deborah Gewertz and Frederick
Errington.
