About this product

Product Information

'Excellent... incorporates a massive quantity of original ethnographic detail about a hitherto virtually unknown people. Theoretical formulations aside, this book would warrant appreciation simply as a work of descriptive ethnography. No significant detail of Keo social forms seems to have eluded the ethnographer's discerning eye.' -AnthroposBased on anthropological research conducted over a number of years on the Indonesian island of Flores, this is the first published account of a people called Keo. Keo society reveals a pervasive pairing of villages, clans, and other groups. The book explores this dualistic social organisation in relation to marriage, reciprocity, and sacrificial ritual. In doing so, it offers important insights into issues of kinship and social inequality.
