In this richly detailed ethnographic study, Kristin Norget explores the practice and meanings of death rituals in the popular culture of poor urban neighborhoods on the outskirts of the southern Mexican city of Oaxaca. Norget's work offers an original perspective on the significance of the Day of the Dead and other Oaxacan ritual practices in shaping people's values and social identities. Norget considers the intimate relationship that is perceived to exist between the living and the dead in Oaxacan popular culture. She argues that popular death rituals, which lie outside the sanctioned practices of the Catholic Church, establish and reinforce an ethical view of the world in which the dead remain with the living and the poor (as opposed to the privileged classes) are those who do right by one another and their dead. For poor Oaxacans, these rituals affirm their own set of social beliefs and practices, which are based on fairness, egalitarianism, and inclusiveness. Kristin Norget's work draws on her extensive fieldwork in Oaxacan neighborhoods and includes vivid descriptions of Day of the Dead rituals.
