Seller's Description:
Fine in Fine jacket. 8vo. xvi, 368pp, index, bibliography, diagrams. Or brown cloth in jacket. As new. Pigs, yams, women and valuables are items of exchange throughout Papua New Guinea. Ceremonial exchange does not arise from economic necessity, rather a social phenomenon reflecting interplay between kinship and marriage structures, the nature of political leadership and the religious and symbolic systems found in these cultures. This work copares 13 New Guinea societies focusing on these distinctive ceremonial exchanges.
