Summary
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the Penan community in Sarawak, highlighting their traditional lifestyle as hunter-gatherers in the rainforest and the social, economic, and environmental challenges they face due to logging, development, and encroachment on their customary lands. The author examines not only the Penan’s cultural practices and daily life but also their struggles to maintain land rights, cultural heritage, and identity in a rapidly changing world. This source is valuable for researchers, students, and readers interested in indigenous peoples, human ecology, and cultural preservation in Borneo.
