Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Previous owner has signed inside page. Binding is still very good. A few scratches on the back cover.

Examining the colourful Tiwi culture from the late 1920s to the 1950s provides a broad picture of cultural change and modernisation in a hunting and food-gathering tribe.

The first half of this book focuses on marriage contracts and their relationship to other aspects of the Tiwi social structure, and the second half examines life in the bush, the prestige and influence systems, collective life, contact with others, and the Tiwi's response to modern influences (Trove)
