Small Sacrifices is an ethnographic study of Ngaju Dayaks, rain forest dwellers of the remote interior region of Central Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo. Like many indigenous peoples throughout the world, the Ngaju have recently been affected by exposure to world religions, by improvements in transportation and communication, by new demands on family-based production, and by other factors pertaining to thei r growing incorporation into an expanding state system in an era of rapid political and economic change. The Ngaju response to these pressures, Anne Schiller contends, is most clearly seen in the religious sphere. Over the past two decades, many Ngaju have taken to recasting and reinterpreting thei r indigenous religion, known formerly as Kaharingan, and now as Hindu Kaharingan. Paradoxically, this process of religious change involves the codification of religious belief and the standardization of ritual. It also includes efforts to distinguish religious practices from other customs. These de velopments figure importantly in the construction of modern Ngaju identity. The author focuses especially on the form and content of tiwah, an elaborate ritual of secondary treatment of the dead, with multiple and complex meanings for Hindu Kaharingan Ngaju, as well as for those who have converted to Christianity or Islam.

Hola Krip2Nite, gracias por el aporte. Te pregunto: ¿son los mismos archivos que subió priale en esta misma pagina?, si es asi, los libros y manuales son imagenes escaneadas?. Solo quiero saberlo para saber si descargo esta versión tambien. Algo más, algunos servidores como uploadable.ch no permiten descargas continuas, osea descargar mas archivos despues de terminar una descarga, ni siquiera con el gestor de descargas (IDM). Si puedes súbelos a firedrive o a cualquier otro que permita descargar seguidamente en modo free. Gracias.
