- Summary:
- Through this engaging ethnographic account of connections, conflicts and loss in Lihir, Hemers own fieldwork journey of making relationships, experiencing disputes and finally leaving the field, is mirrored. Structured into three parts, the book works through the complexities of creating and sustaining relationships, the evaluation of conduct as moral and the practices of conflict, and the experiences and transformations of death and grief.
