Description and Table of Contents

Description

In this work on migration in New Guinea, migration is seen as the total circulation of people, objects, ideas and ritual complexes across, as well as within, cultural boundaries. The essays discuss how processes of flow have a transformative effect on the constitution of cultural groups themselves.
