He demonstrates how such emotions as nostalgia, anger, sadness and grief are creatively transformed during the course of religious performance and expression into a form of cultural memory - one that juxtaposes a pattern of cultural meaning with emotional feeling of plentitude the Melanesian Rauto call makai."(Publisher's description).
