Description

Cargo, Cult and Culture Critique Edited by Holger Jebens Honolulu: University of Hawai'i Press. 2004. Pp: 294 Price: US $25 This collection of papers has been presented at a workshop in Aarhus, Denmark, in 1999. Its main issues neither deal with millenarian movements alone, nor are they restricted to Melanesian cultures. Cargo cults, as one of the most famous themes in the history of melanesianist anthropology, stand here mainly as a pretext to debate about post-modern culture-critical approaches to culture. First thing, for Holger Jebens in his introduction and summary of the different papers, is to stress the leading deconstructionist purposes of most authors of this book in relation to the wide public fascination for Western writings on Cargo cults. Focus on post-colonial anthropological self-reflexivity, deconstruction of the notion of Cargo cult as an image of the West, rehabilitation of the Melanesian Other, dialogic discourses and narratives, are topics privileged by many of the contributors.
