"""Deftly combining qualitative and quantitative data, Roberts provides an exemplary ethnography of the impacts of logging in New Hanover and of the hope communities have for charting a course in the wake of extraction. Roberts offers readers an important model for how to document the shifting sociocultural ecological relations in Papua New Guinea specifically and the Global South more widely.""--Joshua A. Bell, co-editor of Recreating First Contact: Expeditions, Anthropology and Popular Culture ""We Stay the Same makes a first-rate contribution to the literature on the relationship of extraction industries to culture at the local level. Its granular ethnography of the ongoing struggles and resiliency of the Lavongai people of Papua New Guinea is an example of contemporary environmental anthropology at its best.""--David Lipset, author of Yabar: The Alienations of Murik Men in a Papua New Guinea Modernity"
