520 Life in twenty-first century Tonga is rife with
uncertainties. Though the postcolonial island kingdom may
give the appearance of stability and order, there is a
malaise that pervades everyday life, a disquiet rooted in
the feeling that the twin forces of "progress" and
"development"--And the seemingly inevitable wealth
distribution that follows from them-have bypassed the
society. Niko Besnier's illuminating ethnography analyzes
the ways in which segments of this small-scale society
grapple with their growing anxiety and hold on to
different understandings of what modernity means.
