A piercing glimpse into the beliefs that bind people to their dead. The Belief In Immortality And The Worship Of The Dead (Volume II) opens a door to the living memory of Polynesian cultures, where death rituals, ancestral worship, and the belief in immortality shape everyday life.This scholarly ethnography, a keystone of Frazer’s historical ethnology, offers a precise, humane study of Polynesian death rites and social cosmologies. It reads as more than a record; it is an anthropology monograph that illuminates how belief systems underpin kinship, ritual practice, and social order. For students of anthropology and researchers alike, the work stands as research reference material that captures early twentieth-century methods, language, and insight into Oceania ethnology classics.Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this edition is restored for today’s readers and future generations. It is not merely a reprint but a collector’s item and a cultural treasure, inviting casual readers to savour Frazer’s thoughtful, reverent prose and inviting scholars to trace connections with Frazer’s other works. The Belief In Immortality And The Worship Of The Dead (Volume II) will appeal to polynesian cultures enthusiasts, museum staff, and anyone drawn to scholarly ethnography that bridges history and modern understanding.
