Fenua and Fare, Marae and Mana

In Fenua and Fare, Marae and Mana, Jennifer Kahn brings an immense amount of information together to build the first, cohesive archaeological sequence for the Society Islands. Kahn does a masterful job synthesizing studies from divergent archaeological threads and traditions to provide an accessible survey of literature, data, and interpretations of pacific archaeology to students and researchers. Kahn’s book also helpfully explicates the various factors that drive change across the archipelago. Seth Quintus, University of Hawai`i at Mānoa
