	HARRISON, SIMON. Fracturing Resemblances: Identity and Mimetic Conflict in Melanesia and the West [Easa Series, Volume 5]. New York Berghahn Books, 2006. 1st ed. Hardback octavo, no dustjacket, very good plus condition. 182 pp. Western societies draw on concepts of the "individual" when constructing images of the "ethnic group" and "nation" and define these in terms of difference.

Comparing them with the forms of cultural identity characteristic of Melanesia as they have developed since pre-colonial times, the author arrives at a surprising conclusion: he argues that these Western modes of identity are more properly and adequately viewed as forms of disguised or denied resemblance, and that it is these covert commonalities that give rise to, and prolong, social divisions and conflicts between groups.
