Money Games : Gambling in a Papua New Guinea Town Hardback
by Anthony J. Pickles
Part of the ASAO Studies in Pacific Anthropology series
Hardback
Description
Gambling in Papua New Guinea, despite being completely absent prior to the Colonial era, has come to supersede storytelling as the region’s main nighttime activity.
Money Games is an ethnographic monograph which reveals the contemporary importance of gambling in urban Papua New Guinea.
Rich ethnographic detail is coupled with cross-cultural comparison which span the globe.
This anthropological study of everyday economics in Melanesia thereby intersects with theories of money, value, play, informal economy, social change and leadership.
