Description: Making Sense of Micronesia : The Logic of Pacific Island Culture by Francis X. Hezel, S.J. This is a must read for anyone learning more about a tremendously undervalued culture. It has been extremely helpful in my career, and I could not recommend it more. The author focuses on the guts of island culture; the importance of the social map, the tension between the individual and social identity, the ways in which wealth and knowledge are used, the huge importance of respect, emotional expression, and its restraint, island, ways of handling both conflict and intimacy, the real, but indirect power of women. Far from a theoretical exposition, this book begins and ends with the real life behavior of Islanders. In the low left hand corner of the title page in tiny print is: KAH 2020 Hence the great price!
