Book Summary
Peasant societies in many parts of the world regulate their relationship with
the natural environment through earth gods who anchor a group of families not in
genealogical terms, as in the case of ancestors, but in ecological terms. The
articles in this volume illustrate the role of, and the cultural activities
surrounding, the earth gods in rural communities in Asian societies. More
specifically, they show that, within the Asian context, it is possible to
differentiate between two modes representing the earth gods and the relationship
with nature, i.e., one that corresponds to state societies and the other to
tribal ones.
