California, Santa Cruz

" A brilliant and highly original achievement. Nuanced,
multi-disciplinary, and fully collaborative in authorship and
spirit. Incorporating both the most recent scholarly research and
contemporary art forms, this book will undoubtedly stand as the
definitive introduction and reference work on the rich and diverse
arts of Pacific peoples for many years to come."--Ruth B. Phillips,
Canada Research Chair in Aboriginal Art and Culture and Professor
of Art History, Carleton University
