Rapanui: Tradition and survival on Easter Island

by Grant McCall

Grant McCall has spent more than two decades studying Rapanui and in this revised second edition of his 1980 monograph, he presents to a new audience the details of how Easter Island came to be what it is today. Rapanui is principally an academic book, but should appeal to the general reader interested in knowing a story of survival of an ingenious population of scarcely 3000 persons who, with relatives spread across the planet, cling mainly to the rocky home they love.
