Abstract: "Based on anthropological research, Stunned by Beauty suggests that Iban and Dayak understandings of the decorated world offer insight that can move viewers beyond interpretations of these cloths in relation to ritual headtaking and myth. Rodger's study also highlights the link between Iban cloth commercialization and creativity, seen the context of Southeast Asian political economies." -- Provided by publisher.
