Ancestors have remained a strangely neglected topic in the ethnographic and popular literature on Borneo. This volume fills this lacuna with essays drawing on new scholarship in kinship and animism studies. It outlines a distinctive pattern of Southeast Asian ancestorship based on inclusive and polythetic conceptions of ancestors, encompassing local predecessors traced through non-genealogical links and ancestors transformed into spirit animals.
