Beskrivelse

Of Ancestors and Ghosts analyzes a type of Buddhist literature in which immoral, stingy people are reincarnated as hungry, suffering ghosts. It traces the emergence of this genre in relation to contemporary ideas about the departed and the shape of the world. Adeana McNicholl argues that these narratives promote a complex ethical worldview that speaks to both lay people and religious experts.
