Description

Professor Wagner’s study of Barok social and ritual life pays special attention to the men’s-house feasting cycle. The kaba. or culminating death feast” of that cycle, is invoked by the word “asiwinarong,” which symbolizes the leadership succession on which Barok claims to ethical integrity and precedence rest. Originally published in 1986. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
