Winner of the James Mooney Award of the Southern Anthropological Society

In this bracingly original anthropological study, Miles Richardson draws on forty years of empirical research to explore the paradox that while humans must die like all evolving life forms, they have adapted a unique symbolic communication that makes them aware of their natu­rally occurring fate; and through word and artifact, they dwell upon that discovery. Using the concepts of culture and place, he illuminates how two groups, Catholics in Spanish America and Baptists in the American South, create ""being-in-Christ"" and thereby ""put death in its place."" The book combines biological, cultural, archaeological, and linguistic anthropology; a rigorous evolutionary framework; and a postmodern dialogic stance to view humanity as inescapably a product of nature without sacrificing the interpretative social constructions that ""turn a primate into a poem."" Hard-won ethnographic detail and moving reli­gious insight make this an enthralling work.
