There Is No Place Like Home : Migration and Cultural Identity of the Sonsorolese, Micronesia, Paperback by Walda-mandel, Stephanie, ISBN 3825366928, ISBN-13 9783825366926, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Her interest in identity issues was the main motivation for Walda-Mandel to continue and expand her anthropological research into migration in the South Pacific islands. From fieldwork on Sonsorol Island in Micronesia, she contributes to the worldwide migration debate by examining socialization in Micronesia, individuality, the significance of places, home, material culture and other matters. Because the identity construction of the Sonsorlese is very much linked to their increasing migration, she says, they are a good case study for understanding global phenomena such as foreign influences, handling alternative lifestyles, networks across great distances through new means of communication, the development of transnational culture, and the consequences of migration both for those who leave and for those who stay behind.
