About this book

This study of women men and exchanges of wealth in the Trobriand Islands Papua New Guinea makes an interesting comparison with the work of pioneer ethnographer Bronislaw Malinowski who conducted his seminal research there between 1915 and 1918. While Malinowski and others have focused on men dismissing "womens work" as unimportant Weiner shows that women play a vital role in Trobriand society.
