In this seminal work, Edith Turner extends and investigates the concept of communitas that Victor Turner developed nearly four decades ago. Communitas is inspired fellowship, a group's unexpected joy in sharing common experiences together. Turner argues that communitas is a driving force in history as it operates personally, in religion, in revolution, in all domains of human life. This tour de force views key events through the lens of communitas and establishes by narration and multicultural case studies its fundamental importance to human personal, social, and spiritual well-being. At heart, this is an inspired book, or as Turner writes, a connection among "nature, spirit-energy, and soul."
