Examining the complex and multifaceted phenomenon of Christianity in Fiji, this title reveals the deeply complex and often paradoxical dynamics and tensions between processes of change and continuity, faiths and ceremonial and ritual situations, and in relation to the broader, 'national' level of politics and media debate in wider society.
Examining the multifaceted nature of Christianity in Fiji, My God, My Land reveals the deeply complex and often paradoxical dynamics and tensions between processes of change and continuity as they unfold in representations and practices of Christianity and tradition in people's everyday lives. The book draws on extensive, multi-sited fieldwork in different denominations to explore how shared values and cultural belonging are employed to strengthen relations. As such My God, My Land will be of interest to anthropologists of Oceania as well as scholars and students researching into social and cultural change, ritual, religion, Christianity, enculturation and contextual theology.
