Description

Explore the complex social structures of the New Guinea Highlands through this anthropological study from Routledge. As one of the last-contacted horticulturalist groups in the world, these societies offer a unique look into human social organization. This book provides a deep look at how economic, political, and structural constraints shape the relationship between the sexes. For three decades, anthropologists have studied these regions due to their endemic warfare, elaborate exchange systems, and distinct personality styles. This text specifically examines the attitudes and behaviors of men toward women, analyzing the roots of antagonism and the high levels of violence observed in these communities. It is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in social sciences, archaeology, and the study of gender dynamics within traditional horticulturalist cultures.
