Where Hornbills Fly, A Journey With the Headhunters of Borneo

Where Hornbills Fly, A Journey With the Headhunters of Borneo

by Erik Jensen

  • TRAVEL NARRATIVE
  • 2011
  • HARD COVER

Erik Jensen settled in Sarawak where he lived with the Iban for seven years, learning their language and the varied rites and practices of their lives. In this compelling and beautifully-wrought memoir, Erik Jensen reveals the challenges facing the Iban as they adapt to another century, whilst fighting to preserve their identity and singular place in the world. Haunting, yet hopeful, Where Hornbills Fly opens a window onto a vanishing world and paints a remarkable portrait of this fragile tribe, which continues to survive deep in the heart of Borneo.  (BRN38, $47.00)
