{"product_id":"border-history-from-a-borneo-valerie-mashman-9789463723459","title":"Border History from a Borneo Longhouse: The Search for a Life That Is Very Good","description":"A headman of a remote Kelabit longhouse in Borneo is wrestling with recent changes caused by logging and roadbuilding. During this time of tension, he tells three historical narratives defining what makes the good life. His stories of history celebrate pioneering heroes who led through warfare and migrations, who interact with the Brooke state and initiate peace-making, and who journey to seek local Christian missionaries. This microhistory highlights the resilience of values in the face of transformative change, values providing a cultural structure for the Kelabit to redefine and adapt whilst maintaining their identity as a community. \u003cbr\u003eThis work is relevant to Austronesian studies, Southeast Asian history, oral history, the anthropology of value, sociality and ethnic identity, Christian conversion, and issues of borderlands, decolonization, and indigeneity. It is of interest to readers concerned with the history of transnational peoples of Borneo, including the Kelabit, Sa'ban, Kenyah, Ngurek, Penan, and the Lun Dayeh.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Valerie Mashman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9463723455\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789463723459\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amsterdam University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/08\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 274\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Valerie Mashman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46795597054207,"sku":"9789463723459","price":136.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0d057091-0e63-4164-b786-fb177427504c.jpg?v=1744948093","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/border-history-from-a-borneo-valerie-mashman-9789463723459","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
