More about the book
Focusing on Barok social and ritual life, the study highlights the significance of the men's-house feasting cycle, particularly the "kaba" or culminating death feast. The term "asiwinarong" is central to this exploration, representing the leadership succession that underpins Barok's claims to ethical integrity and precedence. Through this lens, the work delves into the cultural practices and values that shape Barok identity and social structures.
