Inhaltsangabe

This book studies the Hahalis Welfare Society, a Bougainville movement which worked for many years to maintain and reform traditional practices and to retain a degree of autonomy in a world of rapid political change and economic dependency. The first extended ethnography of Buka published in nearly sixty years, this book will be of particular interest to Melanesian specialists.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The summary position we propose in introducing our account is that the only meaningful relation between the two terms, subculture and culture, is the practice that creates it; action which establishes the relationship between the two in situations of uncertain relative power which require power to give meaning to that relationship.
