Críticas:

." . . Papuan Borderlands is an important change off direction in Highlands Papua New Guinea anthropology. For much of its time the West Central Highlands have dominated anthropology's imagery of mainland Papua New Guinea. . . . [Biersack] calls for the northwest Southern Highlands of Duna and Huli--accompanied by the Ipili and Waka Enga to their north and easy--to be treated on their own terms. . . . She also forcefully argues for the need to consider both (post-)colonial and pre-colonial histories. . . . Papuan Borderlands heralds great promise of things to come--the plethora of new issues generated by the ethnographic particularities of the children of Hela and their historical realities." --Michael Nihill, Canberra Anthropology -- (04/01/1999) ." . . engages key issues of history and contemporary socioeconomic development at the same time that it puts a new and important regional piece in the ethnographic map of New Guinea. . . . a laudable example of how theoretical issues in cultural anthropology can be illuminated through individual case studies." --Bruce M. Knauft, Emory University -- (04/08/1999)
