Overview

This Potted History sees Madang from the people's point of view. Presented in readable form, it studies the myths and oral traditions handed down through the generations and the changes that occurred during the German Colony, the Australian Administration, the Pacific War and the time of Independence and beyond. It is a book of hope for the future and explanations of the changes in the culture that have occurred since the time of first contact. In many years of close contact, Mary Mennis came to know and respect the village people who shared their oral traditions, skills of pot making and canoe building. It is hoped that this book will record some of the past times for the present and future people of Madang. This book, while it is written in book, while it is written in a semi-academic format with copious references, will also appeal to the general reader who is interested in the history of Papua New Guinea.
