N2  - "This book is based on the fieldwork of an anthropologist among people in Port Moresby's much-maligned migrant 'settlements' and in a 200-year-old village at the city's edge. It addresses the contemporary situation of these urban peoples, displacing popular generalizations with more detailed accounts which do justice to their vitality, resilience, and creative responses to the challenges of living in a burgeoning Melanesian city."--BOOK JACKET
