"Fresh and truthful reflections on modern masculinity..." - Vice
Magazine Blood-brotherhoods and similar rites have been employed by
men to mark friendships and alliances for thousands of years.
Evidence of the practice can be found in the lore, literature and
recorded history of most cultures-from Norse and Celtic mythologies
to the tribes of Africa, Australia and the South Pacific, to the
fiction of Jack London and Mark Twain. This survey of
blood-brotherhood rites is a toolbox for the imagination,
containing a wealth of research about blood-brotherhood myths and
practices from a wide variety of cultures and time periods,
including excerpted texts and original translations by Nathan F.
Miller. The second revised edition of Blood-Brotherhood from
DISSONANT HUM] was written for a general male audience.
Blood-Brotherhood and Other Rites of Male Alliance remains the most
comprehensive cross-cultural survey of blood-brotherhood myths and
traditions currently available.
