Welsch, "This book is a collection of essays that consider changing myths, rituals, and cosmologies among a set of adjacent societies situated in the heart of Papua New Guinea. The contributors are established scholars who have written extensively about their ethnographic fieldwork. Behind each essay lies a corpus of rich ethnographic data that both supports and elaborates on various themes outlined in these mostly short chapters.".
