"This volume emerges from a ground-breaking conference held in the Republic of Palau on cultural heritage in the Pacific.

American Anthropology in Micronesia
Author: Robert Kiste
Publisher: University of Hawaii Press
ISBN: 0824861426
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 649
Book Description
This text evaluates how anthropological research in the Trust Territory has affected the Micronesian people, the US colonial administration and the discipline of anthropology itself. It analyzes the interplay between anthropology and history, in particular how American colonialism affected anthropologists' use of history, and examines the research that has been conducted by American anthropologists in specific topical areas of sociocultural anthropology. The text concentrates on disciplinary concerns, but also considers the connections between work done in the era of applied anthropology and that completed later when anthropology was persued mainly for its own sake.

The Pacific Arts of Polynesia and Micronesia
Author: Adrienne L. Kaeppler
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 0192842382
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
With more than one hundred illustrations--most in full color--this volume offers a stimulating and insightful account of two dynamic artistic cultures, traditions that have had a considerable impact on modern western art through the influence of artists such as Gauguin. After an introduction to Polynesian and Micronesian art separately, the book focuses on the artistic types, styles, and concepts shared by the two island groups, thereby placing each in its wider cultural context. From the textiles of Tonga to the canoes of Tahiti, Adrienne Kaeppler sheds light on religious and sacred rituals and objects, carving, architecture, tattooing, and much more.
