"In this volume six anthropologists deal with a common theme: the many and various rituals surrounding human death. Their ethnographic papers not only testify to the benefits of new and intensive field research on Borneo, they also play to the important theories set out by Robert Hertz on the collective representation of death, an essay which laid the foundations for the analysis of mortuary customs in Borneo, to van Gennep's classic notion of rites of passage, and to more recent anthropological writings".--BOOKJACKET.
