The Life of the Longhouse: An Archaeology of Ethnicity
Metcalf, Peter (University of Virginia)
The remarkable longhouses of Borneo remain mysterious. This book provides an answer by integrating the oral histories of communities with colonial records. The key factor was a trade system stretching to China, via the ancient trading city of Brunei, which shaped the political and religious institutions of longhouse communities.
