Description:
Paperback / softback. New. After the author of this 1939 volume died, it was completed, and edited, by Ralph Piddington, who drew upon Williamson's research at length in order to speculate whether the formation of a cohesive ethnology of Polynesia could be possible. This fascinating volume draws upon work within the field as well as historical and theoretical study.
