World Within: The Ethnic Groups of Borneo

by Victor T. King

Borneo is one of the classic areas for the study of cognatic or non-unilineal societies. The present book is one ofthe first collections of comparative ethnography and includes contributions by established social anthropologists as well as by younger ones who have only recently completed fieldwork. The essays provide an introduction to the social organization of a number of important Borneo peoples, most of whom have not been dealt with in easily available full-length monographs.
