MacDonald, Mary N.: Mararoko

A Study in Melanesian Religion. This volume describes the traditional and changing life of the South Kewa people of Papua New Guinea. Through discussion of story-telling, ritual performance and the power of pigs, the author suggests that an idiom of exchange integrates the various domains of Kewa cultural experience and provides a means of change. The work is accompanied by a collection of about 300 pages, documenting stories, historical accounts and songs. XV,591 Seiten mit 11 Abb., gebunden (American University Studies. Series XI: Anthropology and Sociology; Vol. 45/Peter Lang Verlag 1991) Mängelexemplar/near mint
