description Data obtained during two years of participant observation research are drawn on to describe card gambling among the Awa, a society in the Eastern Highlands Province of Papua New Guinea. Card gambling was introduced by returning labor migrants, who were responsible for transplanting many aspects of urban migrant culture back to their rural villages. Presently, gambling is seasonal & mainly recreational, & not smoothly integrated into the whole society. As rural villages like the Awa have begun to develop economically, card playing has become less a form of recreation & more a divisive social, economic, & political activity. It is neither a functional substitute for waning traditional activities, nor a microcosmic mirror of traditional society, but a reflection of colonial history & the import of urban/plantation culture to a society in the throes of rapid modernization. 1 Table, 46 References.
