Abstract

Eten wolven echt kinderen? Hoeveel zwemmers lokt een haai op? Hoe verdedigt je je tegen een woedende beer? Leeuw, beer, tijger en wolf zijn eng, mooi en machtig tegelijk, net als krokodil, luipaard en haai. Hun krachtige kaken, snelle sprong en dodelijke kracht maakt hen niet alleen onze vijand en soms zelfs menseneter, maar ook ons voorbeeld.

Abstract

For centuries, reports of man-eating tigers in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore have circulated, shrouded in myth and anecdote. This fascinating book documents the "big cat"-human relationship in this area during its 350-year colonial period, re-creating a world in which people feared tigers but often came into contact with them, because these fierce predators prefer habitats created by human interference. Peter Boomgaard shows how people and tigers adapted to each other's behavior, each transmitting this learning from one generation to the next. He discusses the origins of stories and rituals about tigers and explains how cultural biases of Europeans and class differences among indigenous populations affected attitudes toward the tigers. He provides figures on their populations in different eras and analyzes the factors contributing to their present status as an endangered species. Interweaving stories about Malay kings, colonial rulers, tiger charmers, and bounty hunters with facts about tigers and their way of life, the book is an engrossing combination of environmental and micro history.
