Abstract
This monograph is a restudy of Tikopia a generation after Firth's first field work there. The book covers two major topics. The first of these topics is the adjustment the community made to a famine while Firth was there in 1952. The second major topic is the changes that occurred in Tikopia as a result of trade, government and missionary activity, emigration of labor, and other contacts with Western culture.
