Ba-Long-Long: The Igorot Boy is a book written by Albert Ernest Jenks and published in 1907. The story follows the life of Ba-Long-Long, a young boy from the Igorot tribe in the Philippines. The book describes his daily life, customs, and traditions, as well as the challenges and struggles that he faces growing up in a society that is rapidly changing due to colonization and modernization.Ba-Long-Long is portrayed as a curious and intelligent boy who is eager to learn about the world around him. He is fascinated by the new technologies and ideas that are being introduced to his village, but he also struggles to reconcile these changes with the traditional ways of his people. Throughout the book, Ba-Long-Long faces many obstacles, including discrimination and prejudice from outsiders, as well as conflicts within his own community.Jenks, who was an American anthropologist and ethnographer, wrote Ba-Long-Long: The Igorot Boy as a way to document and preserve the culture and way of life of the Igorot people. The book is based on his own experiences living among the Igorot and conducting research on their customs and traditions. Today, the book is considered an important historical document and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of the Philippines.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
