Islands of History - Sahlins, Marshall

Islands of History by Sahlins, Marshall

Format: Paperback

Published by University of Chicago Press, 1985

Marshall Sahlins centers these essays on islands—Hawaii, Fiji, New Zealand—whose histories have intersected with European history. But he is also concerned with the insular thinking in Western scholarship that creates false dichotomies between past and present, between structure and event, between the individual and society. Sahlins's provocative reflections form a powerful critique of Western history and anthropology.
