Exploring the Kurijmoj festival of the Enewetak people who were exiled from their island in 1947 so that the US government could carry out nuclear weapons tests, this text investigates the empowering aspects of ritual devices such as feasts, speeches, dances, and songs of apocalypse.
The leading authority on the lifeways of the Enewetak people explores the rituals, customs, and meanings of the Kurijmoj festival. Illuminating the empowering aspects of rituals involved in feasts, competitive games, speeches, dances, songs of apocalypse, and gift giving, Carucci offers a wealth of insights into a celebration the Enewetak people have made uniquely their own.
