The New Port Moresby is a fresh, original, and well-constructed piece of scholarship. Traditionally, most anthropologists have regarded Port Moresby as just a transit point for going off to see the authentic Papua New Guinea. Ceridwen Spark shows that there is much to discover within the capital itself. She shows a city undergoing profound social change and tells the stories of an emerging class of professional women as they negotiate new boundaries of role, status, and place. This is a thoughtful, nuanced, and reflective piece of work.--Gordon Peake, School of Regulation and Global Governance, The Australian National University
