Nearly half the people born on the remote Mbuke Islands become teachers, businessmen, or bureaucrats in urban centers, while those who stay at home ask migrant relatives 'What about me?' This detailed ethnography sheds light on remittance motivations and documents how terms like 'community' can be useful in places otherwise permeated by kinship. As the state withdraws, Mbuke people explore what social ends might be reached through involvement with the cash economy"--Provided by publisher.Pacific perspectives: studies of the European Society for Oceanists ;5.EthnologyPapua New GuineaCommunity lifePapua New GuineaKinshipPapua New GuineaSocial valuesPapua New GuineaIdentity (Psychology)Papua New GuineaIndividualityPapua New GuineaPapua New GuineaSocial life and customsPapua New GuineaEthnic relationsPapua New GuineaEmigration and immigrationSocial aspectsPapua New GuineaEconomic conditionsadmiralty islands.bismarck archipelago.bureaucrats.businessmen.cash economy.community member.community.development.ethnography.family bonds.family.kinship.manus province.manus.mbuke islands.migrant relatives.motivation.papua new guinea.papua new guinean community.people of the mbuke islands.personhood.relative.remittance documents.remittance motivations.social connections.society.teachers.urban centers.value.EthnologyCommunity lifeKinshipSocial valuesIdentity (Psychology)Individuality995.8/1LC 20692rvkRasmussen Anders Emil1534976MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910797894503321In the absence of the gift3782917UNINA01592nam0 22003493i 450 VAN024256220220926094738.692N978365813515720220309d2016 |0itac50 baengDE|||| |||||Laser-Generated Functional Nanoparticle BioconjugatesDesign for Application in Biomedical Science and Reproductive BiologyAnnette BarchanskiWiesbadenSpringer2016XIII, 310 p.ill.24 cmDEWiesbadenVANL000457660.6Biotecnologia.
