From the book: Covers the Kalingas, the household & kinship group, their custom, law, law of economic relations. Regional units, institutions and custom law, responsibility, procedure, punishment, torts & crimes. With essays also on husband & wife, the Dagdagas, servants, slaves, wealth, ownership of water, landlord & tenant, property rites, interest, debts and loans, seizure, animal ownership, the Pangats, go-betweens, peace pacts, retaliations & indemnities,  and peacemaking. A scholarly and copious resource.

The Kaliangas, a non-literate nationality in the Philippines, appear here in full-length portrait, painted by an expert in Philippine culture and law. This volume is more than the ethnography of a tribe. Its description of the Kalingas’ attempts to master their feudalistic tendencies, their killings and counter-killings between kinship groups, presents a stage in the evolution of society and government in general.
