SUMMARY
Marshall Sahlins centers these essays on islands--Hawaii, Fiji, New Zealand--whose histories have intersected with European history. But he is also concerned with the insular thinking in Western scholarship that creates false dichotomies between past and present, between structure and event, between the individual and society. Sahlins's provocative reflections form a powerful critique of Western history and anthropology.Sahlins, Marshall D. is the author of 'Islands of History', published 1987 under ISBN 9780226733586 and ISBN 0226733580.
