Book Overview
Class has become a feature of life in Papua New Guinea, evident in both traditional and modern settings. This book examines the emergence of class differences and its social and cultural ramifications in Wewak, capital of the East Sepik Province. It movingly conveys the injuries of class inequalities, and reveals how class has worked in similar and different ways, and how it has become possible and plausible for relatively affluent nationals, even those living in modest urban centers, to present themselves as fundamentally superior to other Papua New Guineans.
