Description

Anthropologist Lamont Lindstrom has long-term research interests in Vanuatu and other Melanesian countries focused on local knowledge systems, World War II ethnohistory, contemporary chiefs and the politics of tradition, cultural policy development, sociolinguistics, urban migration and personhood, and cargo cults. The recordings in his collection include interviews with individuals and groups, as well as songs from the WWII era.

The recordings were digitized through support by a Recordings at Risk grant from the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR). The grant program is made possible by funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
