Social Perspectives on Death and Dying (2nd edition): Towards a Theory of Community Economic Development

by Jeanette A. Auger

While death is an inevitable happening in all our lives, the perspectives that we hold about death and dying are socially constructed. This text takes us through the maze of issues, both social and personal, which surround death and dying in our country. The author invites us not to just peek at issues of death and dying but to open our eyes wide and examine how Canadian cultures deal with those concepts. In this new updated edition, Auger challenges us to examine our own thoughts, feelings and fears―our own experience―of the death and dying phenomena.

This book is somewhat dated and there have been some major shifts since it was published. However, much of the information is timeless and it is still a great introduction to death and dying.
