Spontaneous Shrines and the Public Memorialization of Death (Hardcover, 2006 ed.)
Expected to ship within 10 - 15 working days

Spontaneous shrines have emerged, both in the United States and
internationally, as a way to mourn those who have died a sudden or
shocking death, and to acknowledge the circumstances of the deaths.
The contributors to "Spontaneous Shrines and the Public
Memorialization of Death "address events such as the Texas A&M
bonfire collapse, the Pentagon and New York City after 9-11,
roadside crosses, a memorial wall in Philadelphia, and the use of
Day of the Dead altars to bring attention to deceased undocumented
immigrants. The first comprehensive work to examine and theorize
the phenomenon as a whole, this book explores the origins, types,
uses, and meanings of these shrines.""
