Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an early 20th century Westerner's perspective on the indigenous headhunting tribes of the mountainous regions of Formosa (Taiwan). The author, a woman who lived among the native population at the time of Japanese occupation, describes the day-to-day life, beliefs, customs, and social structures of the tribes. The book is remarkable for its portrayal of a society that was on the verge of disappearing, and for its insights into the impact of encroaching "civilization" on traditional ways of life. The author provides a nuanced and empathetic account of the complex relationship between the indigenous tribes and the Japanese colonial government, and explores the challenges faced by the tribes as they struggled to preserve their cultural heritage while adapting to a rapidly changing world.
