Reviews

"An extraordinary book. Martha Kaplan’s cultural analysis of Fijian politics is complex and subtle."—Henry J. Rutz, Hamilton College

"Inherently multidisciplinary, Neither Cargo nor Cult is terrific. Linked with both general theoretical issues and the rich anthropological literature on Fijian societies, it consistently breaks new ground, charting new directions on the relationship between history and culture, and raising effectively perspectives not usually considered on the Fijian ethnographic record. There is nothing quite like it for Fiji or for the Pacific—and little from any other parts of the world."—Donald Brenneis, Pitzer College
