  • - An Archaeology of Ethnicity
    af Peter (University of Virginia) Metcalf
    511,95 - 889,95 kr.

    The remarkable longhouses of Borneo remain mysterious. This book provides an answer by integrating the oral histories of communities with colonial records. The key factor was a trade system stretching to China, via the ancient trading city of Brunei, which shaped the political and religious institutions of longhouse communities.

  • - The Anthropology of Mortuary Ritual
    af Peter (University of Virginia) Metcalf
    261,95 kr.

    This revised edition of a cross-cultural study of rituals surrounding death has become a standard text in anthropology, sociology and religion. Part of its fascination is that in understanding other people's death rituals we are able to gain a better understanding of our own. The authors refer to a wide variety of examples, from different continents and epochs.
