Through this engaging ethnographic account of connections, conflicts and loss in Lihir, Hemers own fieldwork journey of making relationships, experiencing disputes and finally leaving the field, is mirrored. Structured into three parts, the book works through the complexities of creating and sustaining relationships, the evaluation of conduct as moral and the practices of conflict, and the experiences and transformations of death and grief.
There is much beauty in Hemer's ethnography; she presents very personal, intimate accounts of human experience as she and her collaborators lived it, and imparts an honesty both in her positioning and her interpretations. ... It is this close, personal and sensitive engagement with the everyday that makes this ethnography so valuable.'
