The make-up of the contemporary nation-state is increasingly
multiethnic and statistics show that in many cases no one group is
numerically the largest. Interethnic relations are given global
visibility by the media while much that happens among different
groups depends on context. Editors John D. Morgan (King's College,
London) and Pittu Laungani (South Bank and Manchester Universities,
England) have gathered leading international authorities to produce
Death and Bereavement Around the World the first of a five-volume
presentation and analysis of the ways different peoples experience
dying and grief. Effective bereavement care requires a knowledge of
an individual's physical, social, educational, and spiritual
existence since the expressions of grief and the needs that emerge
vary widely from one to another and are subject to past
experiences, cultural expectations, personal beliefs, and
relationships. An individual's identity comes from a sense of
personal uniqueness; solidarity with group ideals; continuity with
the past, present and future; and from the culture by which an
individual is raised or adopted. This first volume discusses the
major religious traditions of the world and how they help followers
deal with the fundamentals of life.
