The book will be of interest to anthropologists, ethnologists of Austronesia, historians and political scientists whose interests include Southeast Asia. During the 1920's, in the regency of Sikka on the island of Flores, D.D. Pareira Kondi and A. Boer Pareira, two notable men among the first literate Sikkanese, began writing about the history and culture of their people. Among their many surviving manuscripts are two long works on the origin of the rajas who ruled Sikka until the end of the rajadom in the 1950's. The author of this book uncovered the manuscripts in 1994 and found among them versions of the myth of origin of the Sikkanese rajas, an epic tale of immigrant-kings that was lost to living memory and as oral tradition by the 1970's. Drawing on Boer?s and Kondi's texts and his own field research in the regency of Sikka, Lewis presents an abridged English translation of the origin myth and constructs a history of the Sikkanese rajas and the organization of the society they ruled. 410 0$aVerhandelingen van het Koninklijk Instituut voor Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde$v257. 606 $aKings and rulers$xHistory 607 $aSikka (Kingdom)$xHistory 615 0$aKings and rulers$xHistory. 676 $a940.54 676 $a940.547252 700 $aKondi$b Dominicus Dionitius Pareira$f1886-1962.$01564541 701 $aPareira$b Alexius BoEr$f1888-1980.$01564542 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787586303321 996 $aThe stranger-kings of Sikka$93833696 997 $aUNINA
