Soft cover. Condición: Fine. 147 pp., illustrations, bibliography, maps. Includes 2 audio CDs. This modest anthology of fables represents the first publication in the language of Taku, a Polynesian outlier situated off the east coast of Bougainville in Papua New Guinea. The island's small size and remoteness have left it largely untouched by Western influences, and a forty-year-old ban on Christian missionaries and churches has allowed the population of 450 to continue unhindered a variety of traditional practices long disconintued on neighbouring atolls, and indeed within Polynesia itself. Taku's language is Samoic and, in common with Samoa itself and other island groups within West Polynesia, Taku's oral tradition includes a category of fables told princibipally for domestic entertainment in a family setting. These stories incorporate one or more short songs which the narrator sings at crucial moments in the plots. The plots of several stories and the names of their principal characters are common to several Polynesian groups, but on Taku the fables are given an extra sense of realism by being localised on the island itself. The numbers of these stories, which are called kkai, are quite low and this anthology represents the contemporary repertoire. Includes 2 music CDs.…

Soft cover. Condición: Fine. 428 p., bibliography. Includes DVD. Takuu is a Polynesian outlier in Papua New Guinea whose community chose to ban Christian churches and missionaries in the 1960s, and which is arguably the last location where traditional Polynesian religion is still openly and extensively practised, as is the associated language. The island's smallness, remoteness and lack of exploitable natural wealth have distanced it from PNG's national economy, and the indigenous language is used by virtually the entire population of around 500. Lack of paid employment opportunities has resulted in the ongoing growth of a large expatriate population scattered throughout the country. A sinking land mass, salination of the gardens and recent devastating tidal surges are combining to jeopardise the long-term viability of residence, and plans are underway to relocate the entire population to Bougainville Island. This dictionary is the third in an ongoing series of monographs about Takuu, following a bilingual anthology of fables (Naa kkai Takuu, 2003) and a musical ethnography (Songs fro the Second Float, 2007). Within the electronic version on the DVD bound into the book are several hundred photographs and video clips illustrating local flora and fauna, topography, material culture, and song and dance performances. 0.0.…
