Overall, this was an excellent description of male initiation rituals in a traditional highland New Guinean society. Occasionally, it was written more informally than what I'm used to, and I know the content (a lot of fellatio) would offend some people. Just remember cultural relativism. The last couple of chapters seemed repetitive, but in general, this was a good ethnographic read.

Ruime studie in gendervariatie doorheen geschiedenis en antropologie. Voelt enigszins 'onaf' aan. - Thorough study into gender variance throughout history and antropology. Feels somewhat 'unfinished'.
