In 'Dancing on the Grave', Nigel Barley explores with wit and a personal vision the diverse ways in which different cultures respond to death and give it meaning. From myths and beliefs about mourning to funeral banquets and mortuary rites, Barley guides us through a fascinating study of human reactions to death. This book, far from being morbid, offers a profound source of inspiration and a sample of cultural diversity in addressing this universal theme.
Nigel Frederick Barley is a British anthropologist known for his books based on his anthropological field work, which have been treated as travel writing. His first book The Innocent Anthropologist (1983), was an account of field work in Cameroon and was positively reviewed.
