| 500 ## - GENERAL NOTE | |
| General note | Presents a cross-cultural study of rituals surrounding death, a standard text in anthropology, sociology and religion. The book explains that in understanding other people?s death rituals we are able to gain a better understanding of our own. It compares the great tombs of the Berawan of Borneo and the pyramids of Egypt, as well as the dramas of medieval French royal funerals and the burial alive of the Dinka ?masters of the spear? in the Sudan, and other rituals which at first sight seem to have little in common. Introduces reviews, theories and developments in the field of anthropology.Illustrations |
