PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
A memoir of anthropological research among the peoples of Ponhpei in Micronesia in the 1970s -- an island where people do (or at least did) eat dogs, grow giant yams in secret, share potent bowls of kava, and have a decidedly relaxed attitude about relations between the sexes. It's a witty account, enlivened by the author's good cheer and insight. With illustrations by Nancy Zoder Dawes.
