Seller's Description:
Very good. 225 p., bibliography. Media reportage of the chronic law and order problem in Port Moresby has earned Papua New Guineas capital city the reputation of a town built for trouble. A different perspective emerges from an exploration of the unseen city, the social area that remains out of sight of most non-Melanesians and where day-today life is a creative and dynamic negotiation of the urban legacy of the colonial past.
