Dr. Thomas Reuter delves into the intricate world of the Mountain Balinese, or Bali Aga, in his thorough examination of their unique cultural and social structures. Through a focus on ancestral homes, the work explores how these physical spaces act as vessels for memory and tradition, reflecting the dualism that permeates their society.

Reuter illuminates how the interplay of precedence and hierarchy shapes the lives of the Bali Aga, revealing the complex relationships woven into their daily existence. As he unravels the significance of rituals and communal ties, readers gain insight into the values that guide this ethnic group's connection to their heritage.

The book serves not only as an academic study but also as an invitation for readers to appreciate the richness of Balinese culture. Reuter's poignant observations and analyses encourage a deeper understanding of how ancestry influences identity and community in this vibrant society.
