"Four life-crisis rituals are described in detail: baptism, a funeral for an unmarried person, weddings, and a funeral for a married person. The book is an excellent study on the rationale of cultural-bearers as important sources for critical, unbiased understanding of ritual."--Choice"The ethnography of Abel Hernandez Jimenez ia a revelation of the Zapotec soul, where the real and imaginary is like an open fabric of strands that are interlaced and knotted: the very essence of their lives. . . . spiritual discourse of the people."--The Journal of Religion
