Toraja: Misadventures of a Social Anthropologist in Sulawesi, Indonesia | Nigel Barley

4 posts | 1 read | 1 to read

In 1985, Dr. Nigel Barley, senior anthropologist at The British Museum, set off for the relatively unknown Indonesian island of Sulawesi in search of the Toraja, a people whose culture includes headhunting, transvestite priests and the massacre of buffalo. In witty and finely crafted prose, Barley offers fascinating insight into the people of Sulawesi and he recounts the tale of the four Torajan woodcarvers he invites back to London to construct an Indonesian rice barn in The British Museum. Previously published as "Not a Hazardous Sport".

Light-hearted and amusing. Obviously a travelogue for a general audience unfamiliar with place or culture

Not a Hazardous Sport | Nigel Barley

As usual, I dithered, discouraged by lack of fluency. It is very hard to be determined and incoherent at the same time.
