Payback: The Logic of Retribution in Melanesian Religions
Trompf, G. W. (University of Sydney)
In this study Garry Trompf shows how various aspects of 'payback', both negative and positive, provide the best indices to an understanding of Melanesian views of life. The book explores the reasons why people 'pay back' and opens up a whole dimension in the cross-cultural study of human consciousness.
