The Rope of Moka: Big-men and Ceremonial Exchange in Mount Hagen New Guinea - Cambridge Studies in Social and Cultural Anthropology
Andrew Strathern
In the Mount Hagen area of central New Guinea, warfare has been replaced since the arrival of the Europeans by a vigorous development of moka, a competitive ceremonial exchange of wealth objects. The exchanges of pigs, shells and other valuables are interpreted as acting as a bond between groups, and as a means whereby individuals, notably the big-men, can maximize their status.
