About the book
The classic ethnography of the Tausug of Jolo: feud, friendship, law and honour as they were lived in the 1960s. Kept in print by Waveland Press.
Thomas Kiefer, an American anthropologist, wrote this short ethnography of the Tausug of Jolo for Holt, Rinehart and Winston's Case Studies in Cultural Anthropology series in 1972. Waveland Press later reprinted it.
The book studies a society in which, in its own words, violence was an everyday occurrence. It describes the kinds of violence found among the Tausug, the situations that set it off, and how a man could restore his standing after an insult or injury. It then follows how disputes and feuds spread through the wider community and shaped its social life.
