Seller's Description:
Very Good. 8vo. xiii, 298pp, index, bibliography, notes. Or card covers. Front cover creased, some light edge wear to covers. In 1837 the trading cutter, Lambton, attacked the Micronesian island of Sapwuahfik. After killing all the men and stealing the island's valuable hoard of tortoiseshell the Lambtom set sail leaving behind a much different society-one of survivors and murderers-who would eventually poduce a new population and culture. The story of Ngatik had begun. Both a work of ethnohistory using oral traditions and written documents, and a reevaluation of the concept of ethnicity examining the cultural and sociopolitical factors shaping community identity.
