Artfully written from a historical perspective, the book effectively and vividly demonstrates the central importance of headhunting as an organizing principle of Ilongot society and as a powerful motivating force in Ilongot individual and group behavior... It is a significant work both ethnographically and methodologically. It is full of unique and exciting data on Ilongot feuding, raiding, and peacemaking... Methodologically, it is important in demonstrating a way of producing diachronic ethnography or ethnographic history through the use and interweaving of data drawn from narratives, life histories, field observations, and historical records... Ilongot Headhunting is likely to become a classic because of its interesting subject and its highly successful approach to ethnography." -Albert S. Bacdayan ,Journal of Asian Studies "A unique blend of ethnography, ethnohistory, historiography, and personal reflection... Rosaldo's text is not just decorated but genuinely advanced by thoughtful, perfectly placed ethnographic photographs... Rosaldo's impressive study should be read as ethnography, as history, and as a challenging theoretical treatise." -James A. Boon ,Man "There is little doubt that it will be held in high regard for years to come. The Ilongot make interesting subjects, and Rosaldo has told their story with a degree of literary finesse rare in academic writing. In addition, there is much in the author's methodology that can instruct future anthropologists and historians." -Paul A. Rodell ,Journal of Asian History
