Just one generation ago, the Sora tribe in India lived in a world populated by the spirits of their dead, who spoke to them through shamans in trance. Every day, they negotiated their wellbeing in heated arguments or in quiet reflections on their feelings of love, anger, and guilt. Today, young Sora are rejecting the worldview of their ancestors and switching their allegiance to warring sects of fundamentalist Christianity or Hinduism. Communion with ancestors is banned as sacred sites are Just one generation ago, the Sora tribe in India lived in a world populated by the spirits of their dead, who spoke to them through shamans in trance. Every day, they negotiated their wellbeing in heated arguments or in quiet reflections on their feelings of love, anger, and guilt. Today, young Sora are rejecting the worldview of their ancestors and switching their allegiance to warring sects of fundamentalist Christianity or Hinduism. Communion with ancestors is banned as sacred sites are demolished, female shamans are replaced by male priests, and debate with the dead gives way to prayer to gods. For some, this shift means liberation from jungle spirits through literacy, employment, and democratic politics; others despair for fear of being forgotten after death. How can a society abandon one understanding of reality so suddenly and see the world in a totally different way? Over forty years, anthropologist Piers Vitebsky has shared the lives of shamans, pastors, ancestors, gods, policemen, missionaries, and alphabet worshippers, seeking explanations from social theory, psychoanalysis, and theology. Living without the Dead lays bare today´s crisis of indigenous religions and shows how historical reform can bring new fulfillments-but also new torments and uncertainties. Vitebsky explores the loss of the Sora tradition as one for greater humanity: just as we have been losing our wildernesses, so we have been losing a diverse range of cultural and spiritual possibilities, tribe by tribe. From the award-winning author of The Reindeer People, this is a heartbreaking story of cultural change and the extinction of an irreplaceable world, even while new religious forms come into being to take its place.

Piers Vitebsky, Books, Social and Cultural Studies, Living Without The Dead: Loss And Redemption In A Jungle Cosmos, Piers Vitebsky’s work is characterized by deep involvement with the people he writes about—often over decades, involving the mastery of several languages, and built on extensive friendships that blur the lines between outsider and insider. Living without the Dead is a testament to what can be learned through such sustained involvement. Following the Indian tribal community of the Sora over forty years, Vitebsky tells a heartbreaking story of cultural change and the slow extinction of a profound religious system. The Sora are a pre-Hindu tribal society in the highland jungles of southeastern India who once engaged in highly advanced shamanistic practices that, through trance rituals, continuously connected the living with the dead. Over the decades, however, evangelical Christianity and fundamentalist Hinduism have slowly encroached on their culture, giving them the benefits of state-sponsored modernization—but at the cost of their traditional beliefs and practices. With sensitivity and insight, Vitebsky explores the ramifications of the loss of this tradition as one for greater humanity: just has we have been losing our wildernesses, so, too, have we been losing, tribe by tribe, a diverse range of cultural and spiritual possibilities. .
