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."
