Mambu is the name of a native of New Guinea who led what has become
known as a 'Cargo' cult. These cults, common in Melanesia, are
partly religious, political and economic in nature. Participants in
the cult engage in exotic rites, the purpose of which is to gain
possession of European manufactured goods, such as knives,
medicines, razor blades, tinned foods etc.
The volume discusses why these cults occur and examines a way of
life of a New Guinea people and their reactions to European
penetration and achievement.
First published in 1960.
