Ancient Polynesian Society
Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1970. first edition. hardcover. 8vo 625pp. from front flap: "...The most complete factual study of ancient Polynesian society to date, this book offers a fresh interpretation of a major cultural area and, at the same time, challenges some common assumptions of traditional anthropological theory. Solidly based on empirical evidence, Irving Goldman's study centers on Polynesia as an example of an aristocratic society. He offers a concept of the status system as a focal point for describing and analyzing kinship, social relations, government, economy, and ritual."
