Migration and Transformations: Regional Perspectives on New Guinea (ASAO MONOGRAPH)

by Gabriele S. Stuerzenhofecker and Andrew J. Strathern

In this work on migration in New Guinea, migration is seen as the total circulation of people, objects, ideas and ritual complexes across, as well as within, cultural boundaries. The essays discuss how processes of flow have a transformative effect on the constitution of cultural groups themselves.
