Product Description:
In this volume six anthropologists deal with a common theme: the many and various rituals surrounding human death. The societies of Borneo have long been known to ethnographers for such distinctive practices as secondary burial, longhouse feasts, headhunting, and the category of "bad death." The authors are able to present, through judicious use of observed and recovered data, painstaking and richly detailed analyses of traditions concerning death and the fate of the soul in five Borneo societies.
