Editorial Reviews
Review
“In my opinion, Making a Living between Crises and Ceremonies in Tana Toraja is the best reference on the culture and economic development of Tana Toraja. It would be useful material for anyone interested in gaining an understanding of the historical and current economic situation for ritual ceremonies of ethnicity in Southeast Asia.” – Quynh Huong Nguyen, Graduate School of International Relations, Ritsumeikan University, in: Southeast Asian Studies 7/3 (2018)
