It provides a fine grained ethnography of barter interactions and regimes of value. It explores the social performativity of barter, stressing the role of instrumental transactions in the fabric of society. It demonstrates the usefulness of the concept of barter to anthropological theories of economic exchanges - usually focussed on gifts and commodities. It conceptually elaborates the notion of ceremonial exchanges.
