In this systematic documentation of New Guinea rituals of manhood,
Gilbert Herdt places the homosexual customs of the Sambia in their
ecological and ideological contexts while exploring what they mean
to the individuals who practise them. Raising a host of issues
concerning gender identity, hostility between the sexes, and the
relationships between myth, culture, and personal experience, Herdt
provides a vivid and convincing portrait of how Sambia men
experience their sexual development.
