AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
In this doctoral dissertation the author examines ritual and festival practices not as periodic interruptions in daily life but as integral, ongoing processes of social engagement that aid in comprehending, negotiating and managing inevitable upheavals in culture and identity caused by physical relocation of segments of the population in an increasingly transnational socioeconomic system.
