A Song For Satawal is a book written by Kenneth Brower and first published in 1983. The book is a historical account of the life and culture of the people of Satawal, an atoll in the Caroline Islands of the Pacific Ocean. The book is based on the author’s experiences living with the islanders and his extensive research into their history and traditions.The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an introduction to the island and its people, including their history, geography, and culture. The second part is a detailed description of the island’s traditional navigation techniques, which rely on the stars, winds, and currents. The third part of the book is a collection of songs and stories from the island’s oral tradition.Throughout the book, Brower provides a vivid and engaging portrait of the people of Satawal and their way of life. He describes their close relationship with the sea, their reliance on traditional knowledge and skills, and their strong sense of community. The book also touches on the impact of outside influences on the island, including the arrival of Christian missionaries and the effects of World War II.Overall, A Song For Satawal is a fascinating and insightful look into the culture and history of a remote Pacific island, written with warmth and sensitivity by an author who clearly has a deep respect for the people he is writing about.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
