Politics in Postwar Micronesia / Glenn Peterson |
| PUBLISHED: |
1999. |
| DESCRIPTION: |
p.145-195; 28 cm. |
| NOTES: |
Ambiguity and ambivalence pervade the American presence in the Western Pacific, Micronesians´responses to it, and the outlooks of anthropologists and others who have studied there.£ |
| NOTES: |
Almost any generalization made about political events and processes there can be contradicted by another. Nonetheless, in this chapter I formulate several overarching points and observations: |
| NOTES: |
1. that there are shared Micronesian political patterns, including leadership rooted in linked kin and territorial groupings, and political legitimacy grounded in elements of everyday experience; |
| NOTES: |
2.that Micronesian societies are well prepared to deal with the world beyond the reef, by readily adopting foreign political forms in.. external relations; |
