Authenticity and Authorship in Pacific Island Encounters
"This book is notable for its wealth of ethnographic data on mortuary practices in very different parts of a changing Pacific, as well as for the critique running through it that reminds us that Hertz's model is an idealization-both emic and etic-from which the actual practice departs into varying degrees of ambivalence" Roger Lohmann, Trent University
