"Despite their sophistication and close links with Rabaul the Matupi retain many of their old traditions and, though they may work for wages in Rabaul, land is stll extremely important to them, for most still grow much of their own food and cultivate cash crops. It is not surprising, therfore, that they devote much time and energy to disputes over land, and a major part of this book is an attempt to understand the nature of these disputes and the part that land plays in their lives."
