This cultural and psychological study of gender identity and sexual development in a New Guinea Highlands society includes rich material on initiation rites and socialization studies, and contrasts the Sambia with other societies, including the United States. For example, Sambia boys experience ritualized homosexuality before puberty and continue this practice until marriage, after which homosexual activity is prohibited. The implications are developed cross-culturally and contextualized in gender literature. This new edition contains updated information about the Sambian ritualization and socialization of gender practices and will include a new chapter on sexuality, gender and social change among the Sambia.

A fascinating, sophisticated anthropological/psychoanalytic consideration of certain Papuan myths that deal with lost or detached objects, which, although destined to complete the missing parts of persons, instead elude their control, or incorporate the whole person rather than being reincorporated themselves. "Like sexual organs, they have their own embarrassing powers of extensibility, intrude themselves into people's desire, swallow other objects, organs, persons, and discourses" (Introduction). Paper edition (unseen), $19.95. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Rituals of Manhood provides some of the most dramatic and richly textured accounts of ritual passages known to anthropologists of the late twentieth century. When in an earlier time anthropologists and sociologists described collective initiation rituals, the political and gender aspects of these practices were seldom underscored. Today, the power relationships of the body and domination, and the social arena of gender politics are widely regarded as critical to the cultural meaning and interpretation. Gilbert H. Herdt is the editor.
