The People of Lake Kutubu and Kikori, Changing Meanings of Daily Life by Mark Busse.

Signed by all three authors inside front cover. Some edge wear to front, spine not broken, content in like new condition. 83 Pgs. In the 1980s a commercially viable amount of oil was discovered near Lake Kutubu in the southern Highlands of Papua New Guinea. Following the completion of a pipeline from the oil field to a marine terminal in the Gulf of Papua south of Kikori in 1992, the Kutubu Petroleum Development Project became the country's first oil producer. The activity accompanying the oil project has dramatically affected life in the Project area. This book offers a picture of daily life in the Project area during 1991 and 1992. Settlement and residence patterns, subsistence, material culture, and exchange, all show a mixture of old an new. A consideration of the changing meanings that objects and customs have for the local people give a sense of contemporary life not only in the Project area but in rural Papua New Guinea in general.
