Ifugao Law is a book written by R.F. Barton in 1919 that provides a comprehensive study of the legal system of the Ifugao people, an indigenous ethnic group in the Philippines. The book is based on Barton's first-hand observations and interactions with the Ifugao during his time as a government official in the region. The book covers various aspects of Ifugao law, including their system of land tenure, marriage and family law, inheritance, and dispute resolution. It also delves into the cultural and religious beliefs that underpin their legal system, such as the importance of ancestor worship and the role of spirits in their daily lives. Barton's work is considered a seminal study of the Ifugao legal system and has been widely cited in subsequent research on indigenous law and governance in the Philippines and beyond. It provides valuable insights into the complex and nuanced ways in which traditional legal systems can coexist with modern legal frameworks, and offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Ifugao people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
