Fighting With Food: Leadership, Values And Social Control in A Massim Society is an anthropological book by Michael W. Young. He analyses in depth the social and political structure of a single village, dealing in detail with its system of social control and those vexed topics of Melanesian ethnography leadership and sorcery. Of particular interest is the author's description of the configuration of values which makes food-giving-to-shame meaningful to the Goodenough Islander for whom 'happiness is a rotting yam', and the worst evil hunger-producing sorcery'..
