products constitutes a major cultural and economic resource.\u00a0This work documents styles of hand fans from some of the world\u2019s most remote islands including Chuuk, Kiribati, Kosrae, Pohnpei, and the Marshall Islands.\u00a0 While each island likely had their own unique fan styles, new techniques developed and spread in the historic context of the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century where successive occupations by the Germans, Japanese, and Americans influenced the production of woven fans.\u00a0 Accompanied by over 60 black and white and color illustrations, this work should be a useful guide to anyone who has an interest in the rich and varied creativity of these exotic islands!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Author Barbara Wavell has an extensive collection of Micronesian fans and other crafts.\u00a0 She has been doing research on Micronesian material culture for over 30 years.\u00a0 She has an MA in Cultural Anthropology and has written two other books, <em>Arts and Crafts of Micronesia <\/em>and <em>Painting Palau\u2019s Cultural History: The Life and Works of Folk Artist Charles Gibbons<\/em>.\u00a0 She lives in Orlando, Florida with her husband and daughter.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3809,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0},"product_cat":[128],"product_tag":[],"yoast_head":"<!--
