		GowaTalloq, as the hearth of Makassar literacy, wielded writing as the centrepiece of the ritual and ideological armoury with which it bound subjugated polities, non-Makassar as well as Makassar-speaking, to the expanding empire.
		Cummings further argues, not in all cases convincingly, that the mini-chronicles of small Makassar polities were imposed by the Gowa-Talloq literary tradition, and that the ruling lines of these polities were sometimes instituted by Gowa-Talloq.
		The tomanurung mythology resembles the widespread pattern among Austronesian societies to invoke a distinctive, exclusive ancestry for the rulers and their close relatives to legitimise their privileged status, even if written genealogies are essential to foster the elaboration and codification of rights by descent, which is such a feature of lowland South Sulawesi societies.

	Tarika: Soul Makassar / RootsWorld Recording Review
		She spent a month on the isle of Sulawesi as a pilgrim among the Makassar, Bugis and Torajan peoples, searching for her ancestral Malayo-Polynesian roots.
		It soon became clear that, despite the long sundering and much of the population's lack of interest in their native arts and history, the two groups still shared strikingly similar religious beliefs, superstitions, funerary customs, languages, types of attire and musical instruments.
		Appropriately enough, given Madagascar's Polynesian/African heritage, the title refers to both the Makassar of Sulawesi, and the Cameroonian maestro Manu Dibango's seventies hit, "Soul Makossa." The songs also reflect this duality, as island-born Indonesian and Malagasy traditions mix it up with grooves from the African continent and diaspora.
