The meaning of whitemen : race and modernity in the Orokaiva cultural world

Ira Bashkow.
Chicago : University of Chicago Press, 2006.
"Focusing on the cultural meanings of whitemen in the Orokaiva society of Papua New Guinea, this book provides a fresh approach to understanding how race is symbolically constructed and why racial stereotypes endure in the face of counter evidence. It provides an analysis of whiteness and race in a non-Western society." --
