Celebrations of Death
This revised edition of a cross-cultural study of rituals surrounding death has become a standard text in anthropology, sociology and religion.

It is paradoxical that in spite of the long-standing prominence of the topic of incest taboo in studies of kinship, there are rather few detailed ethnographic accounts.1 This has been attributed to the sensitive nature of the topic which makes it difficult to collect data o…
