C. Jason Throop provides a vivid sense of Yapese life as he explores the local systems of knowledge, morality, and practice that pertain to experiencing and expressing pain. In so doing, Throop investigates the ways in which sensory experiences like pain can be given meaningful coherence in the context of an individual's culturally constituted existence. In addition to examining the extent to which local understandings of pain's characteristics are personalized by individual sufferers, the book sheds important new light on how pain is implicated in the fashioning of particular Yapese understandings of ethical subjectivity and right action. 606 $aMedical anthropology$zMicronesia (Federated States)$zYap 606 $aPain$xTreatment$zMicronesia (Federated States)$zYap 615 0$aMedical anthropology 615 0$aPain$xTreatment 676 $a306.4/610966 700 $aThroop$b C.
