Doug Dalton publishes an article on “Cargo Cult”

Doug Dalton has recently published the article “Between ‘Cargo’ and ‘Cult’” in a volume entitled Kago, Kastom and Kalja: The Study of Indigenous Movements in Melanesia Today, edited by Marc Tabani & Marcellin Abong and published by Pacific-CREDO Publications (of the Centre de Recherche et de Documentation sur l’Océanie, part of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique). The volume is an updated look at the enduring concept and phenomenon of “cargo cult” in Pacific anthropology, and is notable for including an article by an anthropologist who is also an indigenous Pacific Islander, Marcellin Abong.
