He found that most islanders were unhappy in their new homes and was relieved when the British government agreed to finance the resettlement of Tristan da Cunha in 1963, when the volcano was again dormant. More grants enabled Munch to visit the islanders on Tristan in 1964-1965 for additional research; a visit that resulted in lectures, books, and articles contributing to our understanding of anarchy, atomism, acculturation in social systems, and to our general knowledge of community and social values.
He found that the majority of islanders were discontent in their new dwellings and felt relieved when the British government agreed to fund the repatriation of Tristan da Cunha in 1963, following a period of dormancy for the volcano. Additional grants enabled Munch to conduct further research on the islanders between 1964-1965; this visit ultimately yielded lectures, books, and articles that shed light on anarchy, atomism, acculturation within social systems, and community and social values in general.
