Family Violence and Social Change in the Pacific Islands by Lois Bastide

Family Violence and Social Change in the Pacific Islands by Lois Bastide

The Pacific Islands have some of the highest rates of family violence in the world. Addressing the contemporary mutations of Pacific Island families and the shifting understandings of violence in the context of rapid social change, this book investigates the conflict dynamics generated by these transformations.
