Your article on the Trobriand Islands appears to be written in the eternal ethnographic present c. some time before Malinowski arrived, perhaps you could make this ore explicit.Otherwise anyone using your article to plan a visit might be in for a surprise, for example, I'm pretty sure that cash is now used on the islands. More importantly, I don't know what any Trobriand readers would make of your article. I don't want to edit your article as I have no authoritative knowledge of what the islands are like in 2016. If you haven't first hand knowledge of this either, I suggest that rather than attempt to update it, you make it clear that you are talking about the anthropological construct of the 'Trobriand Islands as described by Malinowski' and studied by all first year anthropology undergraduates. Otherwise I enjoyed your article. ––––– Andrew Bolger
