Writing of Ranongga Island, the author tracks engagements with strangers across many realms of life—pre-colonial warfare, Christian conversion, logging and conservation, even post-conflict state building. She describes startling reversals in which strangers become attached to local places, even as kinspeople are estranged from one another and from their homes. Against stereotypes of rural insularity, she argues that a distinctive cosmopolitan openness to others is evident in the rural Solomons in times of war and peace.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Weight: 581gAuthor: Debra McDougallGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social SciencesBook Series: ASAO Studies in Pacific AnthropologyRelease Year: 2016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
