Unseen City: Anthropological Perspectives on Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea 

Unseen City: Anthropological Perspectives on Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea

Amazon Price: $28.00 (as of 08/30/2008)

Media reportage of the chronic 'law and order' problem in Port Moresby has earned Papua New Guinea's capital city the reputation of 'a town built for trouble'. A different perspective emerges from an exploration of 'the unseen city', the social area that remains out of sight of most non-Melanesians and where day-today life is a creative and dynamic negotiation of the urban legacy of the colonial past.
