Living and Dying in the Contemporary World is not just another reader in medical anthropology but a true tour de force-a deep exploration of all that makes life unbearable and yet livable through the labor of ordinary people. This book comprises forty-four chapters by scholars whose ethnographic and historical work is conducted around the globe, including South Asia, East Asia, Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and the United States. Bringing together the work of established scholars with the vibrant voices of younger scholars, Living and Dying in the Contemporary World will appeal to anthropologists, sociologists, health scientists, scholars of religion, and all who are curious about how to relate to the rapidly changing institutions and experiences in an ever more connected world. 606 $aSocial history$y21st century 606 $aLife$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aDeath$vCross-cultural studies 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSocial history 615 0$aLife 615 0$aDeath 676 $a306 686 $aLC 56000$2rvk 702 $aDas$b Veena 702 $aHan$b Clara$f1975- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460542503321 996 $aLiving and dying in the contemporary world$92479300 997 $aUNINA
