About This Item
New York: Oxford University Press, 1998. first edition. hardcover. Book VG+: spot stain front cover, mild shelf wear, else clean, tight, unmarked./no DJ. 8vo 294pp. part of Oxford Studies in Anthropological Linguistics. from Introduction: "Scattered through the far western Pacific are a number of remote communities whose people are linguistically and culturally Polynesian. Because of their small size, isolation, and paucity of commercially exploitable resources, these so-called Polynesian outliers have been less susceptible to Western influence than many of their cousins to the east; and largely for this reason, they have received scholarly attention well in excess of their modest geographic, demographic, economic, and strategic prominence. One such community is Anuta, a tiny Polynesian outpost in the eastern Solomon Islands. This book presents Anuta's history as expressed and understood by people of that island." #01909.
