Death Across Cultures: Death and Dying in Non-Western Cultures,
explores death practices and beliefs, before and after death,
around the non-Western world. It includes chapters on countries in
Africa, Asia, South America, as well as indigenous people in
Australia and North America. These chapters address changes in
death rituals and beliefs, medicalization and the industry of
death, and the different ways cultures mediate the impacts of
modernity. Comparative studies with the west and among countries
are included. This book brings together global research conducted
by anthropologists, social scientists and scholars who work closely
with individuals from the cultures they are writing about.
