Praise for “Bali Nyonga Today”
Bali Nyonga Today is an outstanding collection of over 30 years of sociocultural change in the kingdom of Bali Nyonga with contributions from some of the leading scholars on Bali heritage. The scope and depth of its themes would be of tremendous interest to both new and avid consumers of Bali scholarship. Readers will be fascinated in particular by the “thick” descriptions of various life-cycle rituals in Bali, including those associated within indigenous knighthood, festivals, herbal medicinal accomplishments and novel developments in the arts, language, and music of the Bali. This volume is an extraordinary contribution to Grassfields studies and its relevance couldn’t be more emphasized.
— Dr Jude Fokwang, Anthropologist and Co-editor of Society and Change in Bali Nyonga: Critical Perspectives (2011)
“This is a salutary project in the business of keeping track of the sociocultural specificity of the people of Bali Nyonga.”
— Dr Victor Gomia, Associate Professor, Delaware State University, USA
