Mama Kuma: One Woman, Two Cultures

"Kuma Kelage, of a Chimbu chieftain, was there when the world changed. From her quiet mountain village in the New Guinea Highlands, she took change by the hand and led it." "Kuma defied tradition and married a white Australian. With her precious golden Ba, she travelled beyond the boundaries of her home to enter a modern world." This remarkable story of Mama Juma is told by Ba's with love and humour, and with the insight of the colonised. It tells the wonder of one woman's journey through two cultures.
