Synopsis
Excerpt from The Journal of the Polynesian Society, Vol. 26: Containing the Transactions and Proceedings of the Society
Tms, the Twenty-fourth Annual Report to the Members of the Society, will be brief, for there is little to record during the past twelve months.
For the past two years we have bad to reduce the size of our quarterly Journal owing to the falling of! In our membership principally, owing to the war raging on the other side of the world. But with the return of peace we hope to keep up to our usual number of sixty-four pages. Matter accumulates faster than we can print it, and naturally the non-appearance of their papers is a disappoint ment to the authors who so generously supply us with the results of their researches. Among the papers we hope to see in progress during the ensuing year are the series of Rarotonga documents secured in that island many years ago, and the translation of which is in a forward state. Side by side with these are other papers by Mr. S. Savage from the same locality, a start in which has been made. It is possible these two series will to a certain extent overlap. But that is perhaps not a disadvantage inasmuch as being derived from different sources, both authentic, they will serve to corroborate one another, while detail lacking in the one may be supplied by the other.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is the second volume of essays from a conference held in 2017 that updates the content of the first volume, also published by the Polynesian Society. It contains 22 papers mostly from historians and anthropologists. The papers are a mixture of local and 'foreign' scholarship. It opens with three papers on the history of the Cook Islands, and in the following sections turns to Rarotonga and other islands, and in the last section to "Polynesian Linguistics". The mixture of detailed historical analysis and reflection on bigger theoretical issues provides the volume with plenty of thematic depth. This is enhanced by the high quality of the contributions, with the authors drawing on a very broad range of archival, oral and archaeological sources. The significance of this second volume lies not only in its updating of its predecessor, but in its provision of a new benchmark against which future work on the history of the Cook Islands can be measured. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780282425173_0
