Description

Explore the history of a remote Kelabit longhouse in Borneo through this microhistory from Amsterdam University Press. As a headman navigates the tensions caused by logging and roadbuilding, he shares three historical narratives that define the Kelabit concept of a good life. These stories follow pioneering heroes through warfare and migrations, their interactions with the Brooke state during peace-making, and their journeys to meet local Christian missionaries. This book examines how Kelabit values provide a cultural structure that allows the community to redefine and adapt during times of transformative change.
