Summary: Different world view
Comment: Death is the unknown frontier, and how a society deals with it says a lot about that society. Which is why the Berawan of Kalimantan (Borneo) have fascinated anthropologists for decades. Metcalf gives us a detailed look at their belief structure and the rituals they perform upon the death of a person. These are highly elaborate, structured events which he shows hold deep religious significance. Related to this is a celebration of ancestors that is quite different from the ancestor worship of Buddhism, say.

Anthropology students may find Metcalf's writings very useful in its depictions of a truly different world view.
