| Book Subtitle | The Anthropology Of Collective Joy |
| Book Description | Communitas is inspired fellowship; a group's pleasure in sharing common experiences; being 'in the zone' - as in music, sport, and work; the sense felt by a group when their life together takes on full meaning. The experience of communitas, almost beyond strict definition and with almost endless variations, often appears unexpectedly. |
| Editorial Review | A monument to the serial careers of a remarkable anthropological couple. Barbara Tedlock, professor of Anthropology, SUNY Buffalo "Just suppose someone did know just exactly what community is, and how to resolve its complexities by revealing the communitas behind it, that would be Edie Turner, and this book would be the way she does it, for once and for all, and this time for real." Roy Wagner, professor of Anthropology, University of Virginia |
