| 520 | _a"Seventeen Years Among the Sea Dyaks of Borneo" by Edwin Herbert Gomes is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life and customs of the Sea Dyaks, a native tribe in Borneo, drawing from Gomes's extensive experience as a missionary among them. It delves deeply into their traditions, social structure, and the transformative effects of Western influence on their culture. At the start of the book, Gomes sets the stage by describing the lush, untamed jungles of Borneo and the tumultuous history of the Dyaks, emphasizing their past involvement in piracy and head-hunting. He introduces Sir James Brooke, who played a pivotal role in suppressing these practices and bringing order to the region, ultimately paving the way for reforms that impacted the Dyaks' way of life. The opening portion outlines the precarious existence of the Dyaks in the past, detailing the violence and fear that permeated their society. It also foreshadows the significant cultural changes they would face with the advent of Western governance and missionary work, a theme that will be explored in depth throughout the book.
