Description

Raymond Firth's landmark re-study of Tikopia examines the profound social and economic transformations that reshaped this Polynesian community across a decade. Originally published in 1959, this work investigates modernisation's effects on Tikopian economics, law, politics and social institutions. Firth's first-hand fieldwork during a period of famine provides unique insights into distribution systems, ceremonial practices and institutional adaptation. Part of Routledge's Library Editions: Anthropology and Ethnography series, this collected work remains essential reading for understanding how traditional societies navigate rapid change and cultural continuity in the modern era.

Key Features

Firth's re-study captures Tikopia society a decade after his initial fieldwork, documenting observable shifts in community structures and practices.

The work examines modernisation's direct impact on Tikopian economics, law, politics and social affairs through detailed ethnographic observation.

Firth analyses famine conditions and their consequences for distribution systems, ceremonial responsibilities and institutional developments.

Originally published in 1959, this anthropological study remains a foundational text in Polynesian ethnography and institutional change theory.

Routledge's Library Editions series preserves Firth's collected anthropology works for contemporary scholars and researchers in ethnographic study.
