HERDT, Gilbert H., edited by. Rituals of Manhood : Male Initiation in PapuaNew Guinea . Edited by Gilbert H. Herdt. Introduccition by Roger M. Keesli ng. Berkeley, CA: University of California Press, (1982). First Printing. Pp. (4),[i]-xxvi,1-365,(5). Illustrated. 8vo, brown cloth with metallic lettering to spine. "Male initiation and male cults are all-encompassing in their implications for many New Guinea societies. Through their extraordinarily rich symbolism, they express a philosophy that views growth into manhood as not predetermined by nature but presided over by men; they define the separation of men and women as a biological and social imperative; and they transform young boys into warriors capable of rage, stealth, and bravery. These cults have never been described in their full social, cultural, and psychological complexity." - from the dj. Vg in spine-sunned dj. 50.00
