520 2 a| This collection of 8 documents, all in English, covers a wide range of ethnographic information collected from the 1880s to the late 1980s. Powdermaker (1933) provides a firsthand ethnographic account of Lesu social organization and cultural practices as observed in 1929-1930. Major themes covered in this book include childcare and socialization, initiation rites, marriage, organization of labor and the family, sexual life and gender relations, magic and religion, community and exchange systems. Powerdermaker's other works further enrich this information by providing in-depth information on specific themes including mortuary rites (1931), vital statistics and demographic trends (1931), and major feasts and organized rituals (1932). Three of the documents in the collection are recent articles, each revisiting Powerdermaker's description of Lesu society and culture from the theoretical perspective of anthropology in the 1980s. The focus of these includes community organization and regional history (Rosman and Rubel 1991), house types and their symbolic meanings (Aijmer 2007), and initiation and life cycle rituals (Lewis 1969). Since the focus of Powdermaker's fieldwork was the Lesu area, much of the information in the collection is limited to this region of New Ireland.;
