Description

Explore the evolution of a Polynesian community with this essential anthropological study by Raymond Firth. Part of the Routledge Library Editions: Anthropology and Ethnography, this work provides a detailed re-study of Tikopia society one generation after Firth's initial visit. This volume examines how modernization forces impacted the fundamental structures of Tikopian life, including economics, law, politics, and social affairs. The text offers a unique perspective on how external influences change traditional systems. Firth also provides a deep analysis of a period of famine experienced during his stay. He investigates the responsibilities surrounding the famine, the challenges of distribution during ceremonies and rituals, and the institutional developments that emerged from the crisis. Originally published in 1959, this collected work remains a significant resource for students and researchers in the fields of anthropology and sociology.
