Drawing on both their own fieldwork from 1991 to 1999 and older
written sources, Stewart and Strathern explore how the Duna have
remade their rituals and associated myths in response to the
outside influences of government, Christianity, and large-scale
economic development, specifically mining and oil prospecting. The
authors provide in-depth ethnographic materials on the Duna and
present many detailed descriptions of ritual practices that have
been abandoned. Remaking the World is a timely contribution to the
literature on agency and the making of cultural identity by
indigenous peoples facing economic, social, and political change.
