Local Commemorations, False Heroes, and Hijacked Memories: Post-Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing Politics of Memory in Bosnia-Herzegovina’s Republika Srpska (RS)
The politics of memory is also the politics of forgetting – especially when it comes to perpetrators of violence, such as those who committed genocide and other crimes against humanity in Bosnia-Herzegovina in the 1990s. This study considers how history, mythology, and collective memories have been used by institutions and politicians, particularly in the Serb-dominated Bosnian entity Republika Srpska (RS), to construct narratives that discursive…
Encountering Jean Guiart on Tanna
Jean Guiart’s seminal Un siècle et demi de contacts culturels à Tanna eschewed anthropological theorizing for understanding Tannese society in favour of listening to and privileging the stories that the Tannese tell themselves.

As I describe in this paper, in 1996 I colla…

Indentured labour and the development of plantations in Vanuatu: 1867-1922
This paper examines the phase of plantation development in Vanuatu based on the employment of indentured ni-Vanuatu labourers, a phase which lasted from 1867 to 1922, after which planters turned increasingly to Vietnam to meet their labour requirements. During this period the French reversed the initial British domination of the plantation economy but, like the British, they were never able to close the gap between their labour needs and the labo…
