The Papua New Guinea described here is not a place of exotic tribesmen, but a modernising society, shaped by global forces, and increasingly divided on class lines. The authors describes the life-style of the elite Wewak, a typical commercial centre, their golf clubs and Rotary gatherings, and bring home the ways in which differences of status are created, experienced and justified. In a country with a long tradition of egalitarianism, it has become at once possible and plausible for relatively affluent 'nationals' to present themselves in a wide range of contexts as fundamentally superior to 'bushy' people, to blame the poor for their misfortunes, and to turn their backs on their less successful relatives. 606 $aSocial classes$zPapua New Guinea$zWewak 607 $aWewak (Papua New Guinea)$xSocial conditions 615 0$aSocial classes 676 $a305.5/09953 700 $aGewertz$b Deborah B.$f1948-$01035966 702 $aErrington$b Frederick Karl 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910449723503321 996 $aEmerging class in Papua New Guinea$92460327 997 $aUNINA
