The Duk-Duks: Primitive and Historic Types of Citizenship by Elizabeth Anne Weber is a comprehensive study of the Duk-Duk secret society, which originated in New Guinea. The book explores the cultural, historical and political significance of the Duk-Duk society, which has been a central part of the social fabric of many New Guinean communities for centuries. The author examines the role of the Duk-Duk society in shaping the political and social structures of these communities, and how it has evolved over time. The book also provides an in-depth analysis of the symbolism and rituals associated with the Duk-Duk society, and how they reflect the values and beliefs of the people who participate in it. Overall, The Duk-Duks: Primitive and Historic Types of Citizenship is a fascinating and insightful exploration of a unique and important aspect of New Guinean culture and history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
