Death in Banaras (Lewis Henry Morgan Lectures)

ok

Captivating account of cremation rituals in Banaras. original information on exorcism and agoris. Overall view anti-Durkheim: the social structure influences theology, but the religion also reinforces and challenges social structure. An obvious point, but well made. This is actually a magnificent book that can only be appreciated by someone who has spent time in Banaras. Shocked that it is not more famous.
