Work in Progress - Essays in New Guinea Highlands Ethnography in Honour of Paula Brown Glick

Over the last decades the ethnography of the New Guinea Highlands has progressed enormously. Paula Brown Glick has been a main contributor ever since she started doing field work in the late 1950s, until now. With these essays a number of her colleagues present results of their own researches, mainly in the New Guinea Highlands. Thus the book gives a splendid overview of the present state of highlands ethnography.
