Description
The authors challenge earlier analyses of Highlands societies of Papua New Guinea that have concentrated on gendered antagonism, taboos, and male domination. Drawing copiously on courting songs, ballads, folktales, and myths, they display the emotional sensibilities of the people and the importance of female spirits to their imaginative lifeworlds.
