Group of five Borneo Research Council monographs covering ethnography, gender studies, and indigenous knowledge systems in Borneo and Kalimantan. Titles include Female and Male in Borneo, Traditional Medicine Among the Ngaju Dayak in Central Kalimantan, Never Stand Alone, The Longhouse of the Tarsier, and The Iban Diaries of Monica Freeman 1949 to 1951. These scholarly works are part of the respected Borneo Research Council Monograph Series, though the set is not sequential. One volume bears a Nathaniel Tarn ex libris bookplate, establishing provenance from the library of the noted anthropologist, poet, and translator, born Edward Michael Mendelson. Clean academic copies with light shelf wear, solid bindings, and bright interiors. A desirable working set for collectors of Southeast Asian anthropology and Tarn-related material.
