Marshall Sahlins centers these essays on islands--Hawaii, Fiji, New
Zealand--whose histories have intersected with European history.
But he is also concerned with the insular thinking in Western
scholarship that creates false dichotomies between past and
present, between structure and event, between the individual and
society. Sahlins's provocative reflections form a powerful critique
of Western history and anthropology.
