Hook line : An intimate look at the Sea-Dyaks of Borneo, their daily life, customs, and beliefs.

The Sea-Dyaks of Borneo offers a vivid portrait of a coastal people. It contrasts the Sea-Dyaks with the inland Land-Dyaks, describing homes, dress, food, and social life in clear, accessible language. The book blends observations of daily routines—from long-house living and clothing to marriage, childbirth, and dining—with explanations of myths, spirits, and religious practices that shape everyday decisions. Readers will encounter a culture where hospitality is common, where traditional crafts meet modern influence, and where head-taking, rites, and feasts mark important moments in community life.

Learn how long houses are organized, how families live under one roof, and how daily tasks like cooking and sleeping share a single space.
Discover the Dyak world of spirits, incantations, dreams, and festivals, and how belief guides health, luck, and harvests.
Explore traditional dress, adornments, and tools, and how external contact has changed clothing and customs.
See how education and missionary work interact with local traditions, communities, and village leadership.

Ideal for readers interested in ethnography, Southeast Asia, and the lived realities of coastal cultures.
