Description

This Introduction to the Anthropology of Melanesia is intended for undergraduate anthropology students with some grounding in the issues and ideas that inform the discipline, and for courses in Pacific Studies. Each chapter focuses on a topic common to many cultures in the region, such as the role of so-called Big Men, ancestors, male initiation, and exchange, and these ideas are fleshed out with apt ethnographic examples. Melanesia is a fascinating culture area, and has always been a popular fieldwork site for anthropologists, including W. H. R. Rivers, Bronislaw Malinowski, Margaret Mead, and Gregory Bateson. Some of the most important theoretical contributions to the subject were also first formulated with reference to Melanesian studies, and students today still learn much of their basic anthropology from Melanesian examples. Review "Sillitoe's sparkling book offers an unprecedented introduction to the anthropology of Melanesia....It will effectively bring Melanesia into its deserved position as one of the main loci of anthropological thought and analysis." Choice Book Description An introductory text to the peoples and cultures of Melanesia for undergraduate studies in general anthropology.
