An ethnography of a small New Zealand farming community, articulating the cultural system beneath the social hierarchy. It addresses such questions as: Where do we get our notions of social hierarchy and personal worth? And what underlies our beliefs about the goals worth aiming for, the persons we hope to become?

This unusual and ambitious book summarizes, compares, and contrasts the ideas of ten prominent anthropologists of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
