The Fame of Gawa is concerned with fundamental practices of value creation on Gawa, a small island off the southeast coast of mainland Papua New Guinea, the inhabitants of which participate in the long-distance kula shell exchange ring. Integrating various aspects of the study of society and culture--including the sociocultural construction of space and time, self-other relations and the body, and moral and political problems of hierarchy and equality-Nancy D. Munn shows that it is through achieving fame in the wider inter-island world that the Gawan community asserts its own internal viablity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51974493634848,"sku":"NEW0822312700","price":34.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-fame-of-gawa-a-symbolic-study-of-value-transformation-in-a-massim-society-henry-louis-morgan-lecture-series-0822312700","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
