In 1994, the Pacific island village of Matupit was partially
destroyed by a volcanic eruption. This study focuses on the
subsequent reconstruction and contests over the morality of
exchanges that are generative of new forms of social
stratification. Such new dynamics of stratification are central to
contemporary processes of globalization in the Pacific, and more
widely. Through detailed ethnography of the transactions that a
displaced people entered into in seeking to rebuild their lives,
this book analyses how people re-make sociality in an era of
post-colonial neo-liberalism without taking either the
transformative power of globalization or the resilience of
indigenous culture as its starting point. It also contributes to
the understanding of the problems of post-disaster reconstruction
and development projects.
