Integrating Archaeology and Ethnohistory
Author: Christophe DescantesPublisher: British Archaeological Reports Oxford Limited
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
Combining archaeological and ethnohistorical evidence from the islands of Yap and Ulithi, two islands in the Western Caroline Islands, this study reveals a history of more than 1300 years of interaction between the island populations. Drawing on ceramic evidence in particular, Descantes traces the history of this extensive Micronesian exchange system, examining factors such as population pressure, resource limitations and history in the growth and intensification of exchange. Descantes also considers the impact of European contact, although the main focus is on the years prior to this, and sets the evidence within the context of wider Pacific island exchange models.

American Anthropology in Micronesia
Author: Robert KistePublisher: 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.

Suffering and Sentiment
Author: Jason ThroopPublisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 052094593X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
Suffering and Sentiment examines the cultural and personal experiences of chronic and acute pain sufferers in a richly described account of everyday beliefs, values, and practices on the island of Yap (Waqab), Federated States of Micronesia. C. Jason Throop provides a vivid sense of Yapese life as he explores the local systems of knowledge, morality, and practice that pertain to experiencing and expressing pain. In so doing, Throop investigates the ways in which sensory experiences like pain can be given meaningful coherence in the context of an individual’s culturally constituted existence. In addition to examining the extent to which local understandings of pain’s characteristics are personalized by individual sufferers, the book sheds important new light on how pain is implicated in the fashioning of particular Yapese understandings of ethical subjectivity and right action.
