{"product_id":"hunting-the-gatherers-michael-ohanlon-9781571815064","title":"Hunting the Gatherers: Ethnographic Collectors, Agents, and Agency in Melanesia 1870s-1930s","description":"\u003cp\u003e Between the 1870s and the 1930s competing European powers carved out and consolidated colonies in Melanesia, the most culturally diverse region of the world. As part of this process, great assemblages of ethnographic artefacts were made by a range of collectors whose diversity is captured in this volume. The contributors to this tightly-integrated volume take these collectors, and the collecting institutions, as the departure point for accounts that look back at the artefact-producing societies and their interaction with the collectors, but also forward to the fate of the collections in metropolitan museums, as the artefacts have been variously exhibited, neglected, re-conceived as indigenous heritage, or repatriated. In doing this, the contributors raise issues of current interest in anthropology, Pacific history, art history, museology, and material culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael O'Hanlon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1571815066\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781571815064\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.64d","brand":"Michael O'Hanlon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44058602930431,"sku":"9781571815064","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_22710547-0f37-46ef-8b94-5095f406c979.jpg?v=1685053499","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hunting-the-gatherers-michael-ohanlon-9781571815064","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
