About This Item
Chicago: University Of Chicago Press, 1989. 1989 edition. Paperback. As New. This is a classic study of one of Malaysia's aboriginal peoples who, according to the author's prevace to this edition, are probably now no longer the forest hunter gatherers they were at the time when the book was written. This 294 page book contains much we can reflect and possibly learn from including the Chewong's non-hierarchical classifications of people, their management of emotion and their acceptance that each species has its own distinct vision of life. The book also has eight pages of plates, numerous tables and an extensive bibliography. Weight 0.36 Kg. Postage within Malaysia is free

Conversely much of our stock published in Malaysia is difficult to find outside the country. So if there\'s something Malaysia related that you\'re looking for, do please contact us and we\'ll do our best to help. At present details of most of our stock is not on line; we hope it will be eventually!
