Riassunto

Emerging in part from papers presented at the annual meeting of the Canadian Anthropological Society, Montreal, 1990, this collection of essays examines the concept of rebirth or reincarnation among Native American societies, from near the time of contact until the present day. Following a foreword by Gananath Obeyesekere that contrasts North American and Hindu/Buddhist/Jain beliefs, an introductory overview, and a chapter that summarizes the context, distribution, and variety of recorded belief, all of the papers chronicle some aspect of rebirth belief in a number of different cultures. Paper edition (unseen), $19.95. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
