Bitter roots: the ends of a Kalahari myth

Abstract

In 2001, cultural researcher, Paul Wolffram traveled to an isolated Papua New Guinea community, where he lived and worked for over two years among the Lak People. Conceived as an opportunity for the Lak to tell their own stories in their way, Stori Tumbuna takes its structure from traditional mythologies of the region and presents a collaborative account privileging the Lak point of view and ethos.
