About this book

Thomas takes up issues central to modern anthropology: the cultural and political dynamics of colonial encounters, the nature of Western and non-Western transactions, and the significance of material objects in social life. He raises doubts about any simple “us/them” dichotomy between Westerners and Pacific Islanders.

Reviews

Powerful and provocative.
-- Roy Wagner, University of Virginia
