Toraja: Misadventures of a Social Anthropologist in Sulawesi, Indonesia | Nigel Barley
4 posts | 1 read | 3 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".

Not a Hazardous Sport | Nigel Barley
Pickpick

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

Kinniska Currently reading Dervla Murphy‘s “Cameroon with Egbert” and she mentions Barleys books as hilarious, so I‘ve added a couple titles to give them a try. Sounds like they‘re pretty good 5mo

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