Steel to Stone by Jeffrey Clark )
In this book the late Jeffrey Clark subjects the history of colonialism among the Wiru of Papua New Guinea to a fresh and subtle examination. Colonized and colonizers alike are the focus of an analysis that draws upon theories of culture, temporality, discursive representation, and anthropology in the postcolonial era.-

This is a densely written and provocative book, rich in ideas and first-rate enthnography, that will be relevant to scholars far beyond the Melanesianist circles and should be of interest to historians, students of colonial culture, culture theory, as well as to anthropologists. It constitutes a highly innovative contribution to anthropological thinking about history and culture, and will ensure that Clark's spirit lives on in the intellectual debates generated by his last book. * Paideuma *
A challenging and in some ways radical piece of work ... a refreshing and profound analysis. * Paideuma *
