The Making of Global and Local Modernities in Melanesia: Humiliation, Transformation and the Nature of Cultural Change - Anthropology and Cultural History in Asia and the Indo-Pacific
Holly Wardlow
Examining the kinds of efforts that have been made to adopt Western modernity in Melanesia, this work also explores the reasons for their varied outcomes. Taking up Professor Marshall Sahlins' work as a starting point, it acknowledges importance of his ideas, while refining and critiquing them with a knowledge of Pacific island societies.
