Focusing on identity formation, the book explores how the people of Santa Isabel in the Solomon Islands navigated their collective identity amidst historical upheaval. It examines the impact of raiding headhunters in the nineteenth century and the subsequent embrace of Christianity, analyzing how these pivotal events shaped community narratives. Geoffrey White employs psychological and historical anthropology to reveal the processes that lend certain narratives a mythic quality, highlighting their significance in the context of changing social and political landscapes.
