The author employs archival records as well as field data, arguing that most anthropologists have shied away from supporting their interpretation with historical research . . . her treatment of the impact of tourism is outstanding, demonstrating that the establishment of a national park on the island has been a mixed blessing. . . . A significant contribution to ethnology.\"--Choice \"Olwig presents two refreshing perspectives on life in a Caribbean community: the development of an Afro-American way of life and an appreciation of the dignified ways in which St. Johnians use an ideology of exchange to help them shape a distinctive sense of themselves. This is a well-balanced, rich, and very solid contribution to Caribbean studies, creatively combining history and ethnography.\"--Richard Price, Johns Hopkins University Dr. Olwig teaches anthropology at the University of Copenhagen.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University Press of Florida","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45382298435663,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":873.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/products\/9780813008189","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
