Oceania An Introduction to the Cultures and
Identities of Pacific Islanders
Sinopsis
This book is written collaboratively by experts
on different regions of Oceania. It presents
a unique tool for instructors and general
readers who wish to become more familiar with the
peoples of the Pacific and for scholars looking
for an analytical conspectus on this part of the
world. Oceania combines surveys of prehistory
and history with careful discussions of cultural
patterns and problems arising out of contemporary
political and economic change. Many of the issues
discussed relate to concerns in other global
regions, including North America and
Australia.General discussions on specific islands
or sub-regions are followed by wide-ranging
studies that bring together classic themes and
recent issues as viewed in current scholarship.
Readers will find the book easy to understand,
and instructors will find the layout of the
materials easy to set into course syllabi. Each
section of the book probes issues that are
significant for the study of the peoples of
Oceania. These issues range from the
contemporary interpretation and manifestation of
traditional concepts such as quotaloaquot(quotp
it,quotquotlov,quotquotaffction,quotquotsyma
thy,quotor quotempthyquot to the development
of ethnicity and political conflict between
local and
national levels within the state, to the
long-term influence of forms of intertwining
with indigenous religion and ritual. Throughout
the book, the vitality and adaptability of
Pacific Islanders in the context of rapid
Christianity and their the authors emphasize and
continuing
transformations in their life worlds.In this
completely revised second edition of the book, all
4
sections have been comprehensively updated with
regard to recent scholarly literature on and
political changes in the societies studied. In
their expanded Introduction, Stewart and
Strathern have included further discussions of
studies on religious change, on aesthetic
genres, and in particular on the relatively
new arena of Disaster Anthropology that they have
been developing for a number of years. They
acknowledge also the affinity of the indigenous
Austronesian speakers of Taiwan with the Pacific
Islanders discussed in this book.
