Book Description
New York Times bestselling author Ella Frances Sanders presents the book we all must have to remind ourselves of the things we miss from our pre-2020 lives and the things we will enjoy again, such as standing next to people in a coffee shop, at the movie theater, or in the bookstore.... This book is a meaningful and personal illustrated collection of place, of chance, and of love. Moments, interactions, experiences, collisions, events, places, serendipities—the things that we all, as a collective and in-waiting humanity, are longing to fold back into. The carefree, now-historical moments of before that we dream about: the crossing of paths, the potential which was held within each day, the beautiful accidents of being alive that are not currently able to happen in the same ways. It allows a person reading it some space to consider their own missing, the chances left untaken and the stones left unturned. In a soft and beautiful way, it reminds us that the small things we as individuals choose to ascribe value to are valuable, that the meaning that makes up our days and weeks and months, if taken away, can leave us feeling directionless and full of emotional aches. Within the space of the book is hope, and reflection, and the assurance that we will all be close again.

Paths and Rivers
Author: Rosana Waterson
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004253858
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 552
Book Description
Fieldwork extending over a thirty-year period provided materials for this book. Paths and Rivers offers an unusually deep and broad picture of the Sa’dan Toraja as a society in dynamic transition over the course of the past century. The Toraja inhabit the mountainous highlands of South Sulawesi, Indonesia, and are well known for their dramatic architecture, their unusual cliff burials, and their flamboyant ceremonial life, which places extraordinary economic demands on individuals and families. The analysis is informed, firstly, by a comparative perspective which sets Toraja social structure in the context of the Austronesian world. Secondly, the author delves deeply into Toraja social memory to show how people think about the past. She examines the usefulness of history and myth in the present as a source of identity, a template for action, or a resource by means of which to claim precedence. The book gives a clear picture of the structure and ethos of the indigenous Toraja religion, the Aluk To Dolo or "Way of the Ancestors", with its complex cycle of rituals. The book concludes with an analysis of the ceremonial economy, which draws upon both domestic subsistence production and the global market economy. Paths and Rivers draws together a fascinating picture of one society’s journey into modernity.
