About this title

Synopsis

This book as a whole emphasizes common concerns shared by all humanity while the volume chapters emphasize various cultural diversities, and the remarkable varieties in the ways that people understood and experience death and grief. The articles in this new text demonstrate these differences and provide insight into human resourcefulness and ingenuity as people cope with death, the final tragedy.

From the Publisher

Born from the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada and McMaster University Conference on the cross-cultural experience of grieving and dying, comes this final volume in the Perspectives on Death and Dying Series.
