Beskrivning
Managing Animals in New Guinea analyzes the place of animals in the lives of New Guinea Highlanders. Looking at issues of zoological classification, hunting of wild animals and management of domesticated ones, notably pigs, it asks how natural parameters affect people's livelihood strategies and their relations with animals and the wider environment.

Recensioner i media

'A scientifically detailed presentation of the attitudes to, and thereby the uses and appreciation of, animals ... This book is written in the ethnographically rich manner of his previous publications ... Sillitoe deals thoroughly with a whole range of interesting issues connected with debates in anthropology ... gives an unusually comprehensive account of the management of pigs ... makes a spirited defence of his approach of ethnographic determinism' - TheJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute
