Description

This Routledge anthropological study examines gender relations in New Guinea Highland societies, among the world's last-contacted horticulturalist peoples. The book analyzes how economic, political, and structural constraints of Highland social organization shape attitudes and behaviour between the sexes, particularly male antagonism toward women. Drawing on three decades of anthropological research, it explores the connection between endemic warfare, elaborate exchange systems, and exaggerated gender antagonism. The work provides critical insight into how these cultural and social factors generate hostility and violence within these societies, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of gender dynamics in one of the world's most distinctive cultural regions.
