Editorial Reviews

Rodman (anthropology, York U.) illustrates general development issues from the vantage point of canoe fishermen and development workers in the Vanuatu islands of the South Pacific. Based on a 15 year anthropological case study with a focus on the cultural interaction of the islanders, the N. American volunteers, and the outside impetus for development. Annotation c.
