Conclusion: The Men Ples -- Selected Works by Joel Bonnemaison Swooping down on the world like a scythe, westernization has devastated local cultures and made uniformity commonplace. The Pacific islands sustained the shock with a force perhaps unequaled anywhere else in the world. Their limited size and small population, coupled with the violent epidemics that took thousands of lives, lowered Islanders' ability to resist. To keep the external world at bay, they had to create a world of their own This personal observation of Tanna, an island in the southern part of the Vanuatu archipelago, presents an extraordinary case study of cultural resistance. Based on interviews, myths and stories collected in the field, and archival research, The Tree and the Canoe analyzes the resilience of the people of Tanna, who, when faced with an intense form of cultural contact that threatened to engulf them, liberated themselves by re-creating, and sometimes reinventing, their own kastom. Following a lengthy history of Tanna from European contact, the author discusses in detail original creation myths and how Tanna people revived them in response to changes brought by missionaries and foreign governments. The final chapters of the book deal with the violent opposition of part of the island population to the newly established National Unity government Ultimately Tanna's story may well be a living symbol of resistance for people throughout Oceania. Are they truly convinced that the roads constructed by the west are the right ones? Do they not persist in dreaming about their own paths? The study of world cultures can still surprise us, for the tide may be changing |

Conclusion: The Men Ples -- Selected Works by Joel Bonnemaison Swooping down on the world like a scythe, westernization has devastated local cultures and made uniformity commonplace. The Pacific islands sustained the shock with a force perhaps unequaled anywhere else in the world. Their limited size and small population, coupled with the violent epidemics that took thousands of lives, lowered Islanders' ability to resist. To keep the external world at bay, they had to create a world of their own This personal observation of Tanna, an island in the southern part of the Vanuatu archipelago, presents an extraordinary case study of cultural resistance. Based on interviews, myths and stories collected in the field, and archival research, The Tree and the Canoe analyzes the resilience of the people of Tanna, who, when faced with an intense form of cultural contact that threatened to engulf them, liberated themselves by re-creating, and sometimes reinventing, their own kastom. Following a lengthy history of Tanna from European contact, the author discusses in detail original creation myths and how Tanna people revived them in response to changes brought by missionaries and foreign governments. The final chapters of the book deal with the violent opposition of part of the island population to the newly established National Unity government Ultimately Tanna's story may well be a living symbol of resistance for people throughout Oceania. Are they truly convinced that the roads constructed by the west are the right ones? Do they not persist in dreaming about their own paths? The study of world cultures can still surprise us, for the tide may be changing HISTORY. bisacsh Discoveries in geography fast Human geography fast Manners and customs fast Tanna (Ni-Vanuatu people) fast Tanna (Ni-Vanuatu people) / Cultural assimilation fast Tanna (Ni-Vanuatu people) / Government relations fast Tannese (Peuple du Vanuatu) / Histoire Tannese (Peuple du Vanuatu) / Relations avec l'État Tannese (Peuple du Vanuatu) / Acculturation Géographie humaine / Vanuatu Tanna (volk) gtt Geschichte Tanna (Ni-Vanuatu people) History Tanna (Ni-Vanuatu people) Government relations Tanna (Ni-Vanuatu people) Cultural assimilation Human geography Vanuatu Geschichte (DE-588)4020517-4 gnd rswk-swf Sozialer Wandel (DE-588)4077587-2 gnd rswk-swf Tanna, Vanuatu (DE-588)4395237-9 gnd rswk-swf Tanna, Vanuatu (DE-588)4395237-9 g Geschichte (DE-588)4020517-4 s 1\p DE-604 Sozialer Wandel (DE-588)4077587-2 s 2\p DE-604 Pénot-Demetry, Josée Sonstige oth http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=39234 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
