About This Item
New Haven: Yale University Press, 1984. first edition. hardcover. Book VG+: faint foxing to endpapers, else clean, tight, unmarked/DJ VG+: mild shelf wear, NOT clipped. 8vo 175pp. from front flap: "The Minangkabau of West Sumatra have long been prominent in the political, economic, and intellectual life of Indonesia, and they have been studied for their strong Islamic faith and their matrilineality. Until now, however, no one has examined the fact that they are also avid explainers and interpreters of their own customs and etiquette. This engrossing book by Frederick Errington explores a culture where explanation is an art; in so doing, it addresses the question of how meaning is created and expressed within a particular social context." #02418.
