An examination of the Tiwi culture from the late 1920s to the 1980s that provides a picture of cultural change and modernization in a hunting and food gathering tribe. The first half focuses on marriage contracts and their relationship to other aspects of Tiwi social structure, and the second half examines the Tiwi’s response to modern influences.This book is a study of social interaction. But it is also a study of culture change.

Much happened between Hart’s and Pilling’s visits to the Tiwi. These changes are described, and we see them in the context of the period of Tiwi contacts with the outside world. pp. xvii, 179 illuss (remains of label and price on prelim.) #0120R
