Abstract
This work provides the reader with an excellent introduction to Belau society and culture written in terms of the author's understanding of how the Belau see and comprehend the world. Throughout this source Barnett provides a perspective on the present through a study of the past, weaving both past and present together so skillfully that the reader is led to a clear conception of how the various processes of culture change have taken place in time. In addition to discussions on the effects of successive domination by the Japanese, Germans, and Americans on Belau society, the author also presents general data on child care and development, women's status, the economy (the food quest), money as a cultural value in the society, marriage and family relations, kinship, status, social personality, recreation and religion.
