Description

Explore the complex processes of cultural change in the Pacific with this academic work from Routledge. This volume examines how Western modernity is adopted in Melanesia and investigates the reasons behind the diverse outcomes observed across the region. Building upon the foundational theories of Professor Marshall Sahlins, the contributing scholars assess concepts of cultural intensification and globalizing forces. The authors use their first-hand knowledge of Pacific islands to refine and extend existing theories regarding the relationship between local traditions and global shifts. This text provides a deep look at the transformation and nature of cultural change through the lenses of anthropology and cultural history. It is an essential resource for those studying the Indo-Pacific and the social sciences.
