DESCRIPTION - Cultures of the Pacific offers a selection of 28 readings representing anthropological research interests and cultural variation in the Pacific.

Among the selections included are ‘The Kon-Tiki Myth' by Robert C. Suggs, ‘The Primitive Economics of the Trobriand Islanders' by Bronislaw Malinowski, and ‘The Rights of Primitive Peoples' by Margaret Mead. Many of the selections, including four previously unpublished papers, have not been readily available to the reader. Editors' introductions to each section indicate the place of the individual contributions in Pacific studies in particular and in anthropology in general. Illustrations and tables complement the text. Cultures of the Pacific is designed primarily for undergraduate and graduate courses in the anthropology of Pacific peoples and cultures. It will also find application in courses dealing with the cultural geography and history of the Pacific, as well as those concerned with the political science and economic development of the area. inventory #14054.…
