Making Sense of Micronesia is intended for westerners who find themselves in contact with Micronesians-as teachers, social workers, health-care providers, or simply as friends- and are puzzled by their island ways. It is for anyone struggling to make sense of cultural exchanges they don't quite understand. Summoning the Powers Beyond collects and reconstructs the old religions of preindustrial Micronesia. It draws mostly from written sources from the turn of the nineteenth century and the period immediately after World War II: reports of the Hamburg South Sea Expedition of 1908-1910, articles by German Roman Catholic missionaries in Micronesia included in the journal Anthropos, and reports by the Coordinated Investigation of Micronesian Anthropology (CIMA) and the American Board of Commissioners of the Foreign Missions (ABCFM).
