This volume engages with the work of E. Douglas Lewis, who has made
major contributions to the understanding of Eastern Indonesia,
ethnography, culture, and religion, as well as a neurobiologically
informed anthropology. Lewis' work on the Ata Tana 'Ai (People of
the Forest) of Flores has long been regarded as a seminal work on
culture and society in Eastern Indonesia. His 'precedence theory'
became highly influential among anthropologists in their
interpretations of other social groups in the region. In this
volume, however, a group of scholars influenced by his work
undertake diverse and thought-provoking excursions from Lewis'
work, shedding light on his insights on subjects ranging from
Eastern Indonesian ethnography, to theorizing culture change, to
development, and to the nascent field of 'neuroanthropology'. Of
particular note, this book also features an extended contribution
by Lewis that is, as Professor James J. Fox notes in this book's
foreword, 'the kind of serious contemplation of an intellectual
trajectory that every senior anthropologist should be urged to
write'.
