Dear all,

Ty P. Kāwika Tengan and I are happy to announce that the edited volume New
Mana: Transformations of a Classic Concept in Pacific Languages and
Cultures has just been published by ANU Press. The website for the book is
http://press.anu.edu.au/titles/monographs-in-anthropology/new-mana/

Like all ANU Press books, it is available online for free download, in
whole or by chapter.

The authors and chapters are:

Introduction: Mana Anew – Matt Tomlinson and Ty P. Kāwika Tengan

1. Mana Hawaiʻi: An Examination of Political Uses of the Word Mana in
Hawaiian – Noenoe K. Silva

2. The Mana of Kū: Indigenous Nationhood, Masculinity and Authority in
Hawai‘i – Ty P. Kāwika Tengan

3. Bodies Permeable and Divine: Tapu, Mana and the Embodiment of Hegemony
in Pre Christian Tonga – Andy Mills

4. Niu Mana, Sport, Media and the Australian Diaspora – Katerina Martina
Teaiwa

5. Mana, Power and ‘Pawa’ in the Pacific and Beyond – Alan Rumsey

6. Mana on the Move: Why Empirical Anchorage Trumps Philosophical Drift –
Thorgeir Kolshus

7. ‘Press the Button, Mama!’ Mana and Christianity on Makira, Solomon
Islands – Aram Oroi

8. The State of Mana, the Mana of the State – Alexander Mawyer

9. Theologies of Mana and Sau in Fiji – Matt Tomlinson and Sekove Bigitibau

10. Claiming Pule, Manifesting Mana: Ordinary Ethics and Pentecostal

12. How Mana Left the Pacific and Became a Video Game Mechanic – Alex Golub

Afterword: Shape-Shifting Mana: Travels in Space and Time – Niko Besnier
and Margaret Jolly

The book is the result of a several-years-long project that has included a
conference at the Australian National University, a double session at the
AAA meetings, and many discussions in many venues. We hope that that
volume's breadth will appeal to scholars in anthropology, linguistics,
history, and Pacific Studies especially.

With best regards, and apologies for cross-posting,
Matt Tomlinson and Ty P. Kāwika Tengan
