Review:
The volume is an important contribution to scholarly understanding of the postcolonial Pacific. For readers interestested in how categories, broadly defined, can shape the ways political, economic and social relationships unfold, this is a satisfying book indeed. ...This book is a valuable addition to scholarship on comparative colonialism, anthropology of law, Pacific history and the consequences of categorizations. - Ilana Gibson in PACIFIC AFFFAIRS
