They explore and revisit some of the highly complex practices and structures social scientists encounter in their fieldwork. From the nature-culture debate to the fabrication of hereditary political systems, from transforming gender relations to the problems of the Christianization of indigenous peoples, these chapters demonstrate both the diversity of anthropological topics and the opportunity for constructive dialogue around shared methodological and theoretical models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“This is an extremely welcome addition to the literature -- unfortunately, too many English-speakers today think of Godelier as a footnote in the history of Marxist anthropology. This volume helps us remember the importance of Godelier as a thinker of the first order and a major bridge between the Anglophone and Francophone anthropology.”\u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003e·  Alex Golub, \u003c\/strong\u003eUniversity of Hawai’i, Manoa\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tList of Tables and Figures\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eLaurent Dousset\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eSerge Tcherkézoff\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/strong\u003e Some Things You Say, Some Things You Dissimulate, and Some Things You Keep To Yourself: Linguistic and Material Exchange in the Construction of Melanesian Societies\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eJoel Robbins\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Enigma of Christian Conversion: Exchange and the Emergence of New Great Men among the Maisin of Papua New Guinea\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eJohn Barker\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/strong\u003e Alienating the Inalienable: Marriage and Money in a Big-man Society\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003ePolly Wiessner\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/strong\u003e Anthropology and the Future of Sexuality Studies: An Essay in Honour of Maurice Godelier\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eGilbert Herdt\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/strong\u003e Material and Immaterial Relations: Gender, Rank and Christianity in Vanuatu\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eMargaret Jolly\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Making of Chiefs: Hereditary Succession, Personal Agency and Exchange in North Mekeo Chiefdoms\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eMark S.
