Pigs for the Ancestors: Ritual in the Ecology of a New Guinea People
"The original version of this book attracted more attention, critical and otherwise, than any other ethnography on the New Guinea Highlands before or since . . . [This enlarged edition] is definitely a tour de force." (American Ethnologist)"Few ethnographic studies . . . become 'instant classics' upon publication, but among them is Pigs for the Ancestors . . . . The contribution of this new edition does not consist of a checklist of points and counterpoints, but a carefully reasoned, empirically focused reassessment of what has become a major research tradition within our discipline." (American Anthropologist)
