Death Rituals among the Karanga of Zimbabwe

World Religions

“Chitakure brings a fresh breath to the study of death rituals. He combines personal reflections with rigorous ethnographic research and postcolonial theory to articulate the praxis, significance, and possible changes in the death rituals as they are performed and understood by the Karanga people to record them for future generations. A great scholarly contribution to an often-oversimplified debate.”
