Professor Wagner’s study of Barok social and ritual life pays special attention to the men’s-house feasting cycle. The kaba. or culminating death feast鈥 of that cycle, is invoked by the word 鈥渁siwinarong,鈥 which symbolizes the leadership succession on which Barok claims to ethical integrity and precedence rest.
