Description

Explore the profound connection between the human body and social identity in this ethnographic study of the Lelet people of New Ireland, Papua New Guinea. Published by Routledge, this monograph offers a detailed look at how corporeality functions within a Melanesian society. The text examines how Lelet conceptions of the body shape identity and how these views change when facing the pressures of modernity. You will find analysis on how colonialism, Christianity, and the shift toward cash-cropping influence traditional perspectives. By looking at the role of the body in defining difference, the author provides a clear view of how people construct their sense of place and space. This work is a significant resource for those studying the social sciences, anthropology, and the cultural shifts occurring in the Pacific Islands.
