In 1985, Dr. Nigel Barley, senior anthropologist at The British
Museum, set off for the relatively unknown Indonesian island of
Sulawesi in search of the Toraja, a people whose culture includes
headhunting, transvestite priests and the massacre of buffalo. In
witty and finely crafted prose, Barley offers fascinating insight into
the people of Sulawesi and he recounts the tale of the four Torajan
woodcarvers he invites back to London to construct an Indonesian rice
barn in The British Museum. Previously published as "Not a Hazardous
Sport".
