TY - BOOK AU - Anton Ploeg AB - This monograph is a comparative study of eight ways of life of highlanders in West Papua. It consists of ten sections: an introduction, a conclusion and eight ethnographic chapters, each dealing with a separate way of life. I chose this presentation since I wanted to make clear the individuality of each of them. In the book I attempt to trace the changes in these ways of life as they were occurring just previous to the settlement of colonial outsiders. This attempt proved feasible since for seven of them first contact accounts are available. DO - 10.4000/books.pacific.938 ID - OAPEN ID: 47557 KW - exogenous culture changes KW - bigmanisation?
