Review Quotes:

"This collection conveys in an exemplary manner the many diverse (sometimes confusing) strands of current anthropological research in Europe ... Pacific Answers to Western Hegemony is a complex volume, and a brief review cannot do full justice to the richness and breadth of the empirical case presented ... this book gives valuable insights into the social and cultural dynamics of today's Oceania." --The Contemporary Pacific

"A valuable contribution to better understanding some of the difficulties faced by Pacific communities." --The Journal of Pacific Studies
