Voyages
InVoyages, Cathy A. Small offers a view of the changes in migration, globalization, and ethnographic fieldwork over three decades. The second edition adds fresh descriptions and narratives in three new chapters based on two more visits to Tonga and California in 2010. The author (whose role after thirty years of fieldwork is both ethnographer and family member) reintroduces the reader to four sisters in the same family-two who migrated to the United States and two who remained in Tonga-and reveals what has unfolded in their lives in the fifteen years since the first edition was written. The second edition concludes with new reflections on how immigration and globalization have affected family, economy, tradition, political life, identity, and the practice of anthropology.

My year as a freshman: connections to the path ahead
Of a thousand freshmen who may attend the same summer orientation, each chooses from the plethora of alternatives: the hundred different majors, whether or not to pledge a sorority or fraternity, or live on campus, or be in honors, or get the meal plan, or join the volleyball club. world where most of our students depend on the university as a stepping stone to a middle-class life and where it is increasingly apparent that having a liberal education - including competencies in reading, writing, speaking, critical thinking, problem solving, ethics, cross-cultural communication, and compassion - must be the foundation of contemporary professional life.

The Birth and Growth of a Polynesian Women's Exchange Network
Based on ethnographic interviews and historical research, this article describes the birth and growth of a commoner women's exchange network in the Kingdom of Tonga during the twentieth century. The network developed during the first two decades of the century along with other late colonial institutions in Tonga that have been called ' the compromise culture'. The exchange institution started with the inter-island exchange of women's prestige wealth within Tonga; the network soon expanded to incorporate Fijian and Samoan women's groups, to include western commodities and cash and, in the 1980s and 1990s, to involve Tongan migrants who are resident overseas. The detailed history of the women's exchange network over eight decades recounts an important slice of commoner women's life stories and memories. At the same time, as an account of a compromise institution, the history of the exchange network offers a window on the process of change in the twentieth century. It demonstrates the deeply conservative nature of seemingly radical institutional changes in Tonga, the increasing difficulties over time in trying to isolate ' western' and ' traditional' forces, and the profound transformations of Tongan life now underway.
