ISBN 0-299-16214-1. In this beautifully written, densely argued, and difficult book, Valeri interweaves straightforward ethnographic reporting with an ambitious treatise on taboo. Douglas believes it will become a classic text in anthropology and that it offers a major contribution to theories of the mind and to the philosophy of religion.
