Anthropology

This book demonstrates that death is not self-evident, that the space between life and death is historically and culturally constructed, fluid, multiple, and open to dispute. Series: California Series in Public Anthropology. Num Pages: 441 pages, 21 b/w illustrations. BIC Classification: JHBZ; JHM; MBX; MNQ; PSXM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational.

This book investigates these "ultimate ambiguities" as crucial periods of creativity, change, and emergent aspects of social and religious life. Editor(s): Berger, Peter; Kroesen, Justin.
