This volume challenges the conventional view that colonial rule and missionization determined the course of pacification in Melanesia. The only book on pacification in this region, the nine essays emphasize the interests and initiatives of islanders in the transition from tribal warfare to an enduring peace. A useful text for courses on Pacific anthropology and history; also well-suited for social scientists interested in warfare and peace.
