| Abstract: | Transformations of gender in Melanesia is co-edited by Martha Macintyre and Ceridwen Spark, both of whom have made significant contributions to the anthropological study of gender in the Pacific. The volume examines the complex shifts in gender and gender relations, both positive and negative, occurring in contemporary Melanesia. It engages with the debate around tradition versus modernity in the region, and the manner in which external ideas influence how gender is perceived. The volume originated from papers delivered at the ‘State of the Pacific’ conference held at the Australian National University, Canberra, in 2014. |
