This book tells the story of two Australian anthropologists as they travel through the Enga highlands of Papua New Guinea in the early 1970s, encountering law and order in a society that was still in the process of emerging from centuries of traditional life. The anthropologists were able to observe and document the development of the judicial system, the rise of a new class of entrepreneurs, and the impact of European contact on the inhabitants of the highlands.; 8vo; 283 pages; TBC.
