4.0 out of 5 stars
tour-de-force of pedantic, coma-inducing childrens' history,
By Lee Potchka (Silver Springs, MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stencils Indonesia, Thailand & Cambodia: Ancient & Living Cultures Series: Grades 3+: Teacher Resource (Paperback)
From primitive 'zao pao' ritual sacrifice and the often ignored 'offay' dances to communal scarification and endogamous incest taboos, this book has it all and more! The ideal tool to teach geography, customs and oral literature of the lesser-studied indigenous peoples of the So Mei Penninsula and beyond. Bartok-Baratta has provided an ordurous, penetrating review of Southeast Asian society. Ideal for all beginning haruspicators!
