CHAPTER 16: HOW TO TURN RANK INTO STRATIFICATION: TALES OF THE SOUTH PACIFIC
314 The literature on Polynesian rank societies is vast. A good place to begin is with three theoretical overviews, written from three different perspectives. Marshall D. Sahlins, in
Social Stratification in Polynesia
(University of Washington Press, Seattle, 1958), relates levels of inequality to differences in the adaptation of societies to their environments. Irving Goldman, in
Ancient Polynesian Society
(University of Chicago Press, 1970), shows how certain basic principles of rank can be used to explain the variation among island societies. Patrick V. Kirch, in
The Evolution of the Polynesian Chiefdoms
(Cambridge University Press, 1984), uses archaeological data to document the evolution of diverse island societies from a common ancestral culture.
