In Memory of Times to Come

Ironies of History in Southeastern Papua New Guinea

Beschreibung

Drawing on twenty years of research, this book examines the historical perspective of a Pacific people who saw â globalizationâ come and go. It asks the question: What does it mean to claim that global connections are in the past rather than the present or the future?
