Description: Engaging With Strangers : Love and Violence in the Rural Solomon Islands, Hardcover by Mcdougall, Debra, ISBN 1785330209, ISBN-13 9781785330209, Brand New, Free shipping in the US The civil conflict in Solomon Islands (1) is often blamed on the failure of the nation-state to encompass culturally diverse and politically fragmented communities. Writing of Ranongga Island, the author tracks engagements with strangers across many realms of life—pre-colonial warfare, Christian conversion, logging and conservation, even post-conflict state building. She describes startling reversals in which strangers become attached to local places, even as kinspeople are estranged from one another and from their homes. Against stereotypes of rural insularity, she argues that a distinctive cosmopolitan openness to others is evident in the rural Solomons in times of war and peace.
