Download or read book Remember Me written by Daniel Kumbon and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-11-13 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the sad case that Papua New Guinea has few commercially established general publishers. This has been true since before Independence in 1975. The reasons for this situation are manifold but the relatively small market for Papua New Guinean literature, both within the country and internationally is of significance. An international lack of interest and ignorance of Papua New Guinea affairs and a rapidly declining literacy rate within the country are also factors. Until very recently most of the books published by Papua New Guinean writers have been self-published and distributed by the authors. This was and still is expensive and limits the size of print runs possible. It is only in the last few years that such technologies as print-on-demand, eBooks and Internet distribution have made the process cheaper. Perhaps the saddest fact is that Papua New Guinea has an over-abundance of talented writers, poets and essayists. This has become apparent over the last five years of the annual Crocodile Prize Literary Awards - an initiative so far controlled from outside the country. Remember Me is a classic example of the dilemma facing Papua New Guinean writers. The collection was largely compiled in the mid-1980s but sat on the shelf collecting dust because no publisher could be found for it. When you read the stories you will realise what a great shame this was. The stories still have a vibrancy and relevance almost thirty years after they were written and are a testament to the talents of the writers represented. Please enjoy them.
Download or read book Sign Language in Papua New Guinea written by Adam Kendon and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2020-02-17 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents in revised form and as a single monograph three papers on a sign language from the Enga Province of Papua New Guinea. Originally published in 1980, for more than twenty years these papers remained the only report of a sign language from that part of the world. The detailed descriptive analyses that the author provided are still fresh today, and in some respects they anticipate insights into the nature of sign languages that were not further explored until much more recently. The monograph is accompanied by two essays: Sherman Wilcox comments on value and relevance of the author’s work in the light of much more recent work on the linguistics of sign languages. An essay by Lauren Reed and Alan Rumsey provides an up to date survey of what is now known about sign languages in Papua New Guinea. Information about sign languages in the Solomon Island is also included.

Download or read book A Historical Ethnography of the Enga Economy of Papua New Guinea written by Polly Wiessner and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2024-06-30 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question addressed in this Element is: What happens to a society when, in the absence of influence from foreign populations, constraints are released by a new crop making possible significant surplus production? We will draw on the historical traditions of 110 tribes of the Enga of Papua New Guinea recorded over a decade to document the changes that occurred in response to the potential for surplus production after the arrival of the sweet potato some 350 years prior to contact with Europeans. Economic change alone does not restructure a society nor build the social and political scaffolding for new institutions. In response to rapid change, the Enga drew on rituals that altered norms and values and resolved cultural contradictions that inhibited cooperation to bring about complexity rather than chaos. The end result was the development of one of the largest known ceremonial exchange systems prior to state formation.

Download or read book Conflict and Resource Development in the Southern Highlands of Papua New Guinea written by Nicole Haley and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Southern Highlands is one of Papua New Guinea's most resource-rich provinces, but for a number of years the province has been riven by conflict. Longstanding inter-group rivalries, briefly set aside during the colonial period, have been compounded by competition for the benefits provided by the modern state and by fighting over the distribution of returns from the several big mining and petroleum projects located within the province or impinging upon it. Deaths from the various conflicts over the past decade number in the hundreds. As a result of inter-group fighting, criminal activity and vandalism, a number of businesses have withdrawn from the province. Roadblocks and ambushes have made travel dangerous in many parts and expatriate missionaries and aid workers have left. Many public servants have abandoned their posts with the result that state services are not provided. Corruption is rife. Police are often reluctant to act because they are outnumbered and outgunned. This volume brings together a number of authors with deep experience of the Southern Highlands to examine the underlying dynamics of resource development and conflict in the province. Its primary purpose is to provide some background to recent events, but the authors also explore possible approaches to limiting the human and economic costs of the ongoing conflict and breakdown of governance.

Download or read book Can t Sleep written by Daniel Kumbon and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The people of Papua New Guinea have a long traditional history of oral literature. Like many societies that have always lived close to the earth there are many natural story tellers and poets among them. This is especially so in Enga Province in the Central Highlands where the largest cultural group in Papua New Guinea lives. It is therefore unfortunate that these natural talents have not been afforded any real chance to flourish in the modern nation state of Papua New Guinea where publishing and other opportunities are severely limited. This has not stopped the writers and poets from practising their craft but at best they can only hope for publication in small and often obscure journals and newspapers. Until recently very few books have been published in the nation. Daniel Kumbon, himself a published author and journalist, has compiled this current collection from a variety of those sources, past and present, to highlight the sort of material that has come out of his home province. The collection is mainly aimed at Enga readers and occurs in parallel with the recent revival of the Enga Writer's Association. However, the collection should also be of interest to the general reader who wants to learn about Enga and its people and their aspirations.
