Society, change and the global village – By Cluny Macpherson and La’avasa Macpherson

Society, change and the global village – By Cluny Macpherson and La’avasa Macpherson Society, change and the global village Cluny Macpherson and La’avasa Macpherson ( 2009 ) The Warm Winds of Change: Globalisation in Contemporary Samoa . Auckland : Auckland University Press , 211 pp., US29.95, pbk, ISBN : 978‐1‐86940‐445‐1 . There is a burgeoning international literature on the processes and theory of globalisation and transnationalism. The Warm Winds of Change is an important study of the impact of these processes on Samoan society. It draws on research conducted over more than four decades and across transnational networks of families, villages and people. The book was developed after the presentation of a series of lectures in 2007 at the Macmillan Brown Centre for Pacific Studies at Canterbury University, Christchurch, New Zealand. It is a product of the authors’ long term engagement with Samoa through their family connections and professional interests. These circumstances put them in a most valuable position to combine indigenous perspectives and academic analysis in an accessible and illuminating text. The book has six chapters that describe and analyse the impact of migration, ideas and technology on life in Samoan villages. A brief introduction describes the development of the book, and the authors’ extensive research background on Samoa‐related topics. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Asia Pacific Viewpoint Wiley

Abstract

Society, change and the global village Cluny Macpherson and La’avasa Macpherson ( 2009 ) The Warm Winds of Change: Globalisation in Contemporary Samoa . Auckland : Auckland University Press , 211 pp., US29.95, pbk, ISBN : 978‐1‐86940‐445‐1 . There is a burgeoning international literature on the processes and theory of globalisation and transnationalism. The Warm Winds of Change is an important study of the impact of these processes on Samoan society. It draws on research conducted over more than four decades and across transnational networks of families, villages and people. The book was developed after the presentation of a series of lectures in 2007 at the Macmillan Brown Centre for Pacific Studies at Canterbury University, Christchurch, New Zealand. It is a product of the authors’ long term engagement with Samoa through their family connections and professional interests. These circumstances put them in a most valuable position to combine indigenous perspectives and academic analysis in an accessible and illuminating text. The book has six chapters that describe and analyse the impact of migration, ideas and technology on life in Samoan villages. A brief introduction describes the development of the book, and the authors’ extensive research background on Samoa‐related topics.
