Cultivators in the Swamps: Social Structure and Horticulture in a New Guinea Society by: Serpenti, Dr. L. M.

Contains B&W photography throughout, as well as a fold-out map at the end. This book describes the most salient features of Kimam culture and society, with particular focus on food production, marriage rules, exchange practices, and life-cycles. The emphasis is on how living on a swampy island, where much of the land is never completely dry, even during the dry season, affects many aspects of community life. Economically, each household builds up their own gardens in the surrounding swamp using grass and mud, making them objects not just of intensive labor investment by men but also elaborate community rituals of protection and revitalization.
