This is a remarkable book on a collaborative journey between archaeologists and Ifugao communities. Significantly, it is the first book published on decolonizing archaeology in Southeast Asia written by local and indigenous authors. Acabado and Martin successfully deconstruct the perceptions of the Ifugao's past and reflect on how they are used in the contemporary societies at the local, national, and international scales. This powerful book has made Southeast Asian archaeology accessible to readers on a global scale. It definitely has drawn attention from various disciplines not only archaeology, but also from anthropology, history, and critical heritage studies.
