Additional information
Monograph exploring in ethnographic depth the implications of football in island Papua New Guinea. Considering its scope, it naturally treats more topics, in greater depth than my article of the same title. The critical focus of this book is the strategies of othering which are central to the ‘New Melanesian Ethnography’ in relation to local racialised notions of development. This is in contradistinction to the article (VDY28104), which concerns itself more with the actual implications of global sporting rhetoric in relation to local understandings of the form and purpose of football.
