Weekend Warriors: Alcohol in a Micronesian Culture

• Used Book in Good Condition

In a unique blend of historical investigation, cross-cultural comparison, and in-depth analysis, <b>Weekend Warriors</b> draws parallels between past traditions of aggression and the present-day problem of drunkenness on the Pacific island of Truk. Marshall demonstrates that many of our beliefs about drinking and drunkenness may be faulty and that a genuine understanding demands a social and cultural approach as well as a medical one.
