Description - Poetic Power of Place: Comparative Perspectives on Austronesian Ideas of Locality by James J. Fox

This collection of papers is the fourth in a series of volumes on the work of the Comparative Austronesian Project.

The intention of the volume is to consider common patterns in the representation of place among Austronesian-speaking populations.
