Description: Namoluk Beyond The Reef by Mac Marshall This book focuses on the waves of Namoluk migration and the ties that bind migrants to their home community. It looks at kinship and social structure, informal networks of sharing news and gossip, the rise in education for both men and women, and the impact of alcohol and tobacco on native society. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This case study examines emigrants from Namoluk Atoll in the Eastern Caroline Islands of Micronesia, in the Western Pacific. Most members of the Namoluk community ( chon Namoluk) do not currently live there - some 60% of them have moved to Chuuk, Guam, or the mainland US (such as Honolulu, Hawaii or Eureka, California). The question is how (and why) those expatriates continue to think of themselves as chon Namoluk, and behave accordingly, despite being a far-flung network of people, with inevitable erosions of shared language and culture. Author Biography Mac Marshall is professor of anthropology at the University of Iowa, with a secondary appointment as professor of community and behavioural health. He is former editor of Medical Anthropology Quarterly and currently serves as Secretary of the American Anthropological Association.
