Music of the Baduy People of Western Java: Singing is a Medicine by Wim van Zanten is about music and dance of the indigenous group of the Baduy, consisting of about twelve-thousand people living in western Java. It covers music for rice rituals, for circumcisions and weddings, and music for entertainment. The book includes many photographs and several discussed audio-visual examples that can be found on DOI: 10.6084/m9.figshare.c.5170520. Baduy are suppposed to live a simple, ascetic life. However, there is a shortage of agricultural land and there are many temptations from the changing world around them. Little has been published on Baduy music and dance. Wim van Zanten’s book seeks to fill this lacuna and is based on short periods of fieldwork from 1976 to 2016.
"""Membayangkan berkunjung ke Baduy dan menjelajahinya, imajinasi kita akan dituntun ke suatu tempat terpencil nan damai, dilingkupi rerimbunan menghijau, suara khas alam, gemeresik angin di sela-sela rumpun bambu, cicit burung yang nyaring nan merdu dan deburan arus sungai. Di sanalah tinggal suatu masyarakat adat tradisional yang khas dan benar-benar berbeda dengan masyarakat perkotaan. Namun, Baduy juga menyimpan pesona tersembunyi yang dapat memuaskan hasrat indriawi dan dorongan keingintahuan kita. Adat, budaya, dan tradisi yang hidup di Baduy mudah dilihat dari tiga hal utama yang kental mewarnai keseharian mereka. Yaitu, sikap hidup sederhana, bersahabat dengan alam dan yang alami, da...
"The understandings which children have of Indigenous identity provide means by which to explore the ways in which Indigenous identity is both projected and constructed in society. These understandings play a powerful part in the ways in which Indigenous peoples are positioned in the mainstream society with which they are connected. The research presented in this edited collection uses children’s drawings to illuminate and explore the images children, both mainstream and Indigenous, have of Indigenous peoples. The data generated by this process allows exploration of the ways in which Indigenous identity is understood globally, through a series of locally focussed studies connected by theme...
Pendidikan Multikultural Sangat memuliakan manusia karena memandang semua manusia setara, dapat bekerjasama dan saling menghormati walaupun berbeda budaya, ras, etnis, agama, jenis kelamin, dan cara pandang.

"World class tourism destination Bali is well-known for her natural beauty and exotic culture. But within beautiful Bali hides another type of 'beauty': the pearls of wisdom to heed and practice. Bali's indigenous wisdom is laden with philosophical and universal values and is also very relevant for addressing the global problems modern people face daily. These pearls of wisdom were born out of a thoughtful civilization that champions the simplicity of mind and respect of nature, integrating these ideas into every aspect of life itself. There are only a handful of authors who write about and analyze Balinese wisdom in such depth, yet in a very down-to-earth way. Here, Anand Krishna brings bac...

This book takes a major step in psychological anthropology by applying new analytic tools from cognitive science to one of the oldest and most vexing anthropological problems: the nature of "primitive" thought. For a decade or more there has been broad agreement within anthropology that culture might be usefully viewed as a system of tacit rules that constrain the meaningful interpretation of events and serve as a guide to action. However, no one has made a serious attempt to write a cultural grammar that would make such rules explicit. In Culture and Inference Edwin Hutchins makes just such an attempt for one enormously instructive case, the Trobriand Islanders' system of land tenure. Using...
