They Make Themselves - Work and Play among the Baining of Papua New Guinea

Summary

This study describes the daily existence of the Baining people of Papua New Guinea, who present a challenge to anthropologists because of their apparent lack of a cultural or social structure; but Jane Fajans argues that the Baining define themselves by their own productive and reproductive work.
