AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a study of four Orokaiva entrepreneurs who have established themselves in the society through cash cropping and retail trade. The brief case studies attempt to identify various factors which facilitate the emergence of entreprenuers and others which restrict their success and future development. Frequent comparisons are made in the text to the life styles of the villagers of Inonda and Sivepe, previously studied by the author.
