Mangrove Man: Dialogics of Culture in the Sepik Estuary (Cambridge Studies in Social and Cultural Anthropology, Series Number 106) - Hardcover
The Murik of Papua New Guinea conceptualize women as the source of nurture, generosity and love. Men have political power, but their claim to sustain and reproduce society requires them to appropriate the nurturant qualities of women. So they must, in some sense, model certain aspects of themselves after women. A "maternal schema" or "poetics" of the female body, which underlines Murik sociocultural patterns, expresses itself in a range of societal domains. These issues tie in with some of the major contemporary debates in the social sciences, including the relationship between ideas of male and female power.

Review:
"Lipset's study is a first-rate, well-written ethnography of the murik, a small community settled on the Sepik River estuary in Papua New Guinea." Choice
"David Lipset has given us a rich ethnographic account of the Murik people...This book is a well through, informative ethnography that should inspire students and stimulate further anthropological debate among scholars, particularly because of the orginality of its approach and basic concept." Pacific Studies
