Beskrivning
During the 24-year Indonesian occupation of East Timor, thousands of people died, or were killed, in circumstances that did not allow the required death rituals to be performed. This book focuses on the dynamic interplay between the potent presence of the dead in everyday life and their symbolic usefulness to the state.

Recensioner i media

"It is hard to find flaws in this collection. Admirably meeting the attributes of 'thick ethnography' as set down by Traube in her preface, not only does this work advance our understanding of Timor-Leste’s travails today, but deservedly takes its place in the broader anthropological literature around 'ancestorship,' martyrdom, and 'bad death.'"- Geoffrey C. Gunn, Pacific Affairs, Vol. 95, No. 2
