QR code
"The Pagan Tribes of Borneo" by Charles Hose and William McDougall is an ethnographic study written during the early 20th century. This work aims to provide an in-depth examination of the various pagan tribes of Borneo, capturing their physical, moral, and intellectual conditions as they existed at the close of the 19th century. The book offers unique insights into the lives, customs, and beliefs of these tribes, supported by the authors’ direct
observations and interactions over many years. The opening of the book serves as a preface where the authors outline their motivations for documenting the diverse pagan tribes of Borneo, emphasizing the importance of firsthand experiences over secondary accounts. One of the authors, Hose, reveals his extensive tenure as a civil officer in the region, underscoring the wealth of knowledge he has accumulated during his time there. The text captures the collaborative effort between Hose and McDougall in compiling this work, with a clear focus on the significance of their anthropological field research. This introduction effectively sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the geography, culture, and everyday life of the tribes in the subsequent chapters.
