"Focusing on the small island of Paama, Vanuatu, and the capital, Port Vila, this
book presents a rare and recent study of the ongoing significance of urbanization
and internal migration in the Global South. Based on longitudinal research undertaken
in rural 'home' places, urban suburbs and informal settlements, this book reveals
the deep ambivalence of the outcome of migration, and argues that the fundamental
organizing principles of cultural life - in this case centered on kinship and an 'island
home' - are significantly more important for urban and rural living than the effects
of migration"
