Leadership and Change in the Western Pacific: Essays Presented to Sir Raymond Firth on the Occasion of His Ninetieth BirthdayRichard Feinberg, Karen Ann Watson-Gegeo Athlone Press, 1996 - 416 頁 This study is an ethnographic and theoretical exploration of the rise of new forms of leadership at community and national levels in the islands of the Western Pacific. Changing definitions, functions and expectations of leaders have followed upon political independence for many new nations of Oceania. Islanders are reworking leadership offices, synthesizing traditional and Western models, and drawing on indigenous values and symbols to validate the resulting new structures. |
