 The Magic Crocodile and Other Folktales from Indonesia


The Magic Crocodile and Other Folktales from Indonesia


$18.99


Once, the Dayaks say, there was only the sky and space. Not even earth or sea was there. One day, a spider on its silken string dropped from the sky ever so slowly, spinning its web as it descended into the emptiness. It hung there, swinging, the only living thing in space. Then a red stone fell from the sky and was caught in the web. This red coral stone grew and spread until it filled the space beneath the sky and formed a mat like a floor . And so the land of the Dayaks, a people of Borneo, emerged. This myth is one of several creation stories included in Alice Terada’s collection of folktales from the islands of Indonesia. Hundreds of language and cultural groups, each with its own myths and legends, make Indonesia an unusually rich source of stories. Selected to give young readers an understanding of the Indonesian people through their folklore, twenty-nine tales reveal the islands from west to east – from the cunning of the moon in One Sun , a legend from Sumatra, to the kindness and wisdom of Watuwe, The Magic Crocodile of ancient Irian. The notes following each folktale explain the beliefs and customs mentioned in the story.

Contrary to the declarations of some anthropologists, matriarchies do exist. Peggy Reeves Sanday first went to West Sumatra in 1981, intrigued by reports that the matrilineal Minangkabau — one of the largest ethnic groups in Indonesia — label their society a matriarchy. Numbering some four million in West Sumatra, the Minangkabau are known in Indonesia for their literary flair, business acumen, and egalitarian, democratic relationships between men and women.Sanday uses her repeated visits to West Sumatra in the closing decades of the twentieth century as the basis for a new definition of matriarchy. From the vantage point of daily life in villages, especially one where she developed close personal ties, Sanday’s narrative is centered on how the Minangkabau conceive of their world and think humans should behave, along with the practices and rituals they claim uphold their matriarchate.Women at the Center leaves the reader with a solid sense of the respect for women that permeates Minangkabau culture, and gives new life to the concept of matriarchy.
