Download or read book Symbolic Immortality written by Sergei Kan and published by Naomi B. Pascal Editor's Endow. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades after its initial publication, Symbolic Immortality retains its status as the most comprehensive analysis of the mortuary practices of the Tlingit Indians of southeastern Alaska--or any other indigenous culture of the Northwest Coast. This updated and expanded edition furthers our understanding of the potlatch (koo.éex') as a total social phenomenon, with emotional and religious as well as economic and sociopolitical dimensions. The result is a major contribution to both Northwest Coast ethnology and theoretical literature on the anthropology of death.
