This is an ethnographic investigation of the power of the landscape and the implications of that power for human needs, behaviour, and emotions. Based on two years of fieldwork in rural Flores, the book situates Manggarai place-making and mobility within the larger contexts of diverse human-environment interactions as well as adat revival in postcolonial Indonesia.
