Description

Explore a rare anthropological study with Rank and Religion in Tikopia. Originally published in 1970, this Routledge Revival provides a detailed look at the belief systems and ritual practices of Polynesian paganism. The text examines the transition from ancient cults to Christianity, a shift that occurred across most of Polynesia nearly two centuries ago. While traditional religions vanished from many islands within generations, remote locations like Tikopia managed to preserve their ancient ways. This book offers a unique perspective based on the author's direct observations. Having participated in pagan rites over eighty years ago, the author returned in later years to document the specific processes of religious transformation. This work serves as a vital resource for those studying the history of Pacific island cultures and the sociological changes brought about by religious conversion.
