Demonstrating that oral media and native cultural forms are vital throughout the South Pacific, this book raises issues in comparative scholarship on oral tradition: what it means, extra-textual elements, and the relation between composition and performance. The contributors include Achsah Carrier, James Carrier, Christian Clerk, and many others.
