The practice of cannibalism is in certain cultures rejected as evil, while in others it plays a central part in the ritual order. This book presents a new approach to understanding the phenomenon. Through a detailed examination of ritual cannibalism the author shows that it serves as a concrete device for distinguishing the 'cultural self' from the 'natural other'.
