Sinopse

"Vanuatu Rituals" explores the enduring power of tradition in Vanuatu, examining how ceremonial practices and spiritual beliefs shape the cultural identity of the ni-Vanuatu people. The book delves into the concept of kastom, the customary law underpinning many rituals, and highlights the significance of ancestral veneration in daily life. These rituals aren't static relics but are dynamic expressions adapted to modern influences.

 
The book examines specific rituals like Naghol, also known as land diving, on Pentecost Island, emphasizing its deep spiritual meaning related to courage and renewal. It also investigates other practices, such as yam harvests and chiefly investiture, revealing their role in maintaining social order and reinforcing kinship ties.

 
The book progresses logically, first establishing historical context, then detailing rituals and beliefs, and finally analyzing the impact of external forces like tourism. By drawing on ethnographic studies, historical accounts, and oral histories, "Vanuatu Rituals" provides a comprehensive overview of the archipelago's cultural landscape. It offers a unique perspective by focusing on the active role of ni-Vanuatu people in preserving their heritage, providing valuable insights into cultural preservation in a globalized world.
