El presente libro nos ofrece la oportunidad de conocer el avance de las ideas sobre los interrogantes más destacados de la investigación socio-antropológica y lingüística que se realiza actualmente en Venezuela y en sus espacios limítrofes, en Brasil y Colombia. El lector encontrará también ejemplos de sociedades africanas -de Benín y de Costa de Marfil- que dan materia de reflexión y de comparación. Esta obra es la expresión de la riqueza de las problemáticas cuando, ajustándose al seno del conocimiento, la antropología integra los diferentes puntos de vista al tomarse el tiempo de cruzar el camino de las disciplinas afines. A partir de programas de investigación-participación o experiencias más concentradas en la investigación fundamental sin olvidar, por lo tanto, los intereses indígenas, las diversas contribuciones dan cuenta de las principales preocupaciones contemporáneas de las ciencias sociales. Se observa particularmente una doble orientación en los estudios. Una intenta superar los modelos explicativos monofactoriales y formular análisis que consideran diversos acercamientos, la otra trata de establecer vínculos entre la teoría y la práctica social. Ambos objetivos ilustran un mismo esfuerzo para establecer relaciones entre diferentes campos del conocimiento e integrar sus aportes específicos.

Ranging from the Hawaiian Archipelago to the Aleutian Islands, from Silicon Valley to Guam, Pathways to the Present is a thoroughly researched and concisely argued account of economic and environmental change in the postwar "American" Pacific. Following a brief survey of the history of the Pacific, the author takes the Hawaiian Islands as the center of American activities in the region and looks at interactions among native Hawaiian, developmental, military, and environmental issues in the archipelago after World War II. He then turns to land- and water-use problems that have intersected with more nebulous quality-of-life concerns to generate policy controversies in the Seattle region and the San Francisco Bay area, especially Silicon Valley. Economic expansion and environmentalism in Alaska are examined through the lens of changes occurring along the Aleutians. From there the study considers Hiroshima after its destruction by the atomic bomb in 1945, looking at residents’ desire to combine urban-planning concepts. The author investigates the effort to remake Hiroshima as a high-tech city in the 1990's, an attempt inspired by the perceived success of Silicon Valley, and postwar planning on Okinawa, where American influences were particularly strong. The final chapter takes into account issues raised on Guam regarding the growth of tourism and the use of the island for military purposes and links these to developments in the Philippines to the west and American Sâmoa to the south.
