Empowering the Past, Confronting the Future: The Duna People of Papua New Guinea

Meer over het boek

The Aluni Valley Duna people of Papua New Guinea have creatively navigated colonial and post-colonial challenges since the mid-20th century. Influenced by mining companies and lacking significant government support, they have adapted by reinterpreting their mythology to assert claims against external corporations. Additionally, they blend traditional practices with Christianity, using their cultural heritage to empower themselves as they face modern changes. This unique approach highlights their resilience and ability to confront the future while honoring their past.
