Download or read book Bamahuta written by Philip Fitzpatrick and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation. "Bamahuta is a poignant farewell that was made by the thousands of Australians who departed the territories of Papua and New Guinea following independence. Among them were the kiaps - the patrol officers. In the coastal villages, the remote mountain hamlets and the burgeoning new towns, they were responsible for exploring the country, introducing the rule of law and acting as a catalyst for political and economic development." "Bamahuta recreates the adventure and dynamism of the pre-independence years as seen through the eyes of a young kiap. Loneliness, friendship and romance sharpen a growing social and self awareness. The result is a unique perspective on the drive to independence and its consequences. Capturing nostalgia for the past and uncertainty about the future, this is a story about growing up and moving on."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Gunnar Landtman in Papua written by David Russell Lawrence and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite poverty and neglect the coastal Kiwai of the northern Torres Strait and Fly estuary are a strong and vibrant people with a long tradition of work in the marine industries of the Torres Strait. Regrettably their current social, economic and political problems are marginal to both Papua New Guinea and Australia. Gunnar Landtman’s research, undertaken between 1910 and 1912, is still a foundation stone for understanding the position of the Kiwai today. In those two years in Papua, Landtman managed to record a large collection of valuable legends and stories, many of which are still told today. He travelled widely throughout the Torres Strait, the southwest coast of Papua and the Fly estuary and even to the Gulf District. He made a comprehensive collection of Kiwai material culture now housed in the Museum of Cultures in Helsinki and a second, duplicate set for the Cambridge Museum. He also collected some of the earliest examples of Gogodala material culture available for research. In 1913, he published, Nya Guinea färden [New Guinea expedition], a detailed travelogue of his work and life among the Kiwai and, while he wrote a substantial corpus of work on the Kiwai in English, Swedish and Finnish over the next twenty years, this personal account in Swedish has not been translated into English before. It forms a crucial link between Landtman’s serious academic works and his intimate personal journey of discovery. The aim of this book is to bring the personal face of the serious anthropologist to greater attention.
