PITARUAH AYAH UNTUK ANAK LAKI LAKI MINANGKABAU - Angku Yus Datuak Parpatiah - Belerong Group

This Pitaruah Ayah (Father's Guide to Boys) explains the role of men in Minangkabau, with its unique functions and contrasting significantly with men from other regions. The long-established social order is based on a matrilineal system. Men play the roles of son, father, husband, and, more uniquely, as mamak (mother). As time goes by, education on how a child should behave as a "Minang" (Urang Minang) has begun to diminish. Hopefully, this Pitaruah Ayah (Father's Guide to Boys) by Angku Yus Datuak Parpatiah will serve as a foundation and guide for Minangkabau children in viewing life as descendants of the Minangkabau realm.
