The island of Pentecost supports three main societies, each having its own characteristics and making up an entity quite distinct from its neighbors. This book deals mainly with the center of the island. The motifs illustrating the text are taken from the mats of the area which are objects of both art and value. They are woven and dyed by complex processes and form an important part of social ceremonial exchanges.

This is the only travel guidebook available entirely dedicated to Vanuatu - covers all the island groups - explores all options from resort holidays to home-stay in traditional villages - insightful information on diving, island hopping, bushwalking and Melanesian culture.
