In 2014, the island of Ahamb in Vanuatu became the scene of a
startling Christian revival movement led by thirty children with
'spiritual vision'. However, it ended dramatically when two men
believed to be sorcerers and responsible for much of the society's
problems were hung by persons fearing for the island's future
security. Based on twenty months of ethnographic fieldwork on Ahamb
between 2010 and 2017, this book investigates how upheavals like
the Ahamb revival can emerge to address and sometimes resolve
social problems, but also carry risks of exacerbating the same
problems they arise to address.
