Reviews / Votes
"The volume provides an intimate exploration of Suau perceptions of time and space. Drawing on more than 20 years of experience, Demian achieves a nuanced portrayal of how Suau culture reacted to the loss of global connections during the past several decades...Exploring the Melanesian concepts of land as a space instantiated by the human relationships that fill it, this thoughtful, innovative study offers much to the contemporary discipline of anthropology." * Choice"The book is an exemplar of beautiful ethnographic writing combined with a refreshing honesty about what fieldwork is and the kinds of relationships anthropologists form in a process of interacting with other people...[It] will be an excellent resource to use in undergraduate anthropology and Pacific studies courses, as well as being theoretically compelling enough to use in graduate coursework." * Anthropos
"Brilliant ethnography...This is an important and welcome book. Demian writes beautifully, moving seamlessly from vivid ethnographic description to acute theoretical and comparative analysis." * Pacific Affairs
"This beautifully written ethnography challenges the social sciences to rethink longstanding approaches to belonging, identity, place, and change. It is an extraordinary contribution to sociocultural anthropology." * Paige West, Columbia University
