RARE 1st edition.The book's spine was library taped, which I removed and it left white glue residue. However, the plates are worth the purchase of this book; so bright and so rare too!

"Naven" is the name of a peculiar ritual practiced by Iatmul, a head-hunting tribe of New Guinea, a South Pacific Island just North of Australia."The ceremony is performed to congratulate members of the tribe upon the completion of notable accomplishments, among which homicide ranks highest. Ordinarily this tribe insists upon an extreme contrast between the sexes, but in the "naven" ceremony, tranvestitism and ritual homosexuality are represented. The "naven" serves in this book as a motive around which the author has constructed one of the most influential works of field anthropology ever written." 268 pp. Fair+ burgundy cloth with a secure text block and bright clean pages.
