A Study of Brunei Dusun Religion: Ethnic Priesthood on a Frontier of Islam

---

Eva Maria Kershaw

A study of the declining role of the female shaman, or belian, amongst the Dusun of Brunei. This is not only happening in the midst of efforts to assimilate the Dusun into the dominant Muslim state, but also because of the decline of rice cultivation, increased urbanisation and the greater availability of Western medicine. Near Fine Hardback in a Near Fine Dust Jacket. 287 pages with a bibliography and an index.

Weight: 0.9 kg Post free within Malaysia

Condition: Apart from one or two marks on the dust jacket and very faint traces of tanning in parts of the book, this looks new.
