This book is about contemporary senses of life after death in the
United States, Japan, and China. By collecting and examining
hundreds of interviews with people from all walks of life in these
three societies, the book presents and compares personally held
beliefs, experiences, and interactions with the concept of life
after death. Three major aspects covered by the book Include, but
are certainly not limited to, the enduring tradition of Japanese
ancestor veneration, China's transition from state-sponsored
materialism to the increasing belief in some form of afterlife, as
well as the diversity in senses of, or disbelief in, life after
death in the United States. Through these diverse first-hand
testimonies the book reveals that underlying these changes in each
society there is a shift from collective to individual belief, with
people developing their own visions of what may, or may not, happen
after death. This book will be valuable reading for students of
Anthropology as well as Religious, Cultural, Asian and American
Studies. It will also be an impactful resource for professionals
such as doctors, nurses, and hospice workers.
