| NOTES: |
World War II was a pivotal event—perhapsthepivotal event—in modern Pacific history. Both directly and indirectly the war turned the Pacific upside down. |
| NOTES: |
New colonial relationships were established; new forms of transportation and communication grew rapidly after the war, building on the airfields and harbor facilities constructed as part of the war effort; |
| NOTES: |
and the war stimulated new migrations to towns in the islands and to countries beyond. New ideas, new social relationships, and new experiences born of the war and its aftermath wove Pacific peoples ever more tightly into the global system. |
| NOTES: |
The war also strongly affected the discipline of anthropology in the United States; following World War II "everything in the anthroplogy field had changed direction and it lacked its old coherence" (Hall 1992,159). |
