Sommario/riassunto |
|
Contemporary Funeral Rituals takes you inside the fascinating world of the Sa'dan Toraja, who inhabit the Indonesian island of Sulawesi. The author explores first-hand the most important contemporary Toraja ritual - the funeral - and documents and analyses the changes brought about by the Toraja leaving their autochthonous religion Aluk Todolo behind and embracing Christianity during the last century. |
