-This descriptive ethnography contributes to the already considerable literature on the peoples of the Grand Valley of the Balim River. The term -Dugum- refers to a 350 population cluster associated with the Dani name for the local hill around which they interact and cluster... [This book] is a useful statement of a Highland New Guinea culture.- --David G. Bettison, Pacific Affairs -This attractively produced ethnography of a neighbourhood of 350 persons among the 50,000 Dani-speakers of Indonesian-controlled West New Guinea is presented as 'a holistic study', to the memory of Clyde Kluckhohn... [The] present study gives the non-specialist reader a kaleidoscopic introduction to a wide range of New Guinea behaviours that too often go unreported.- --R. F.
