Scope and content This collection of 6 documents, all in English, covers social and cultural information circa 1930s-1980s. The basic sources to consult are by John Whiting's ethnographic account (1941) and published field work journal (1970). Together, these provide a comprehensive account of Kwoma society and culture, with particular reference to socialization, family life, economic activities and material culture, as observed in 1936-1937. The remaining documents compliment Whiting by providing additional information on sex and gender relations, kinship regulation of sex and marriage, and ceremonial arts and community rituals.
