Description

Explore a deep ethnographic study of suicidal behavior through the lens of anthropology. In 'Suicide in Sri Lanka: The Anthropology of an Epidemic', anthropologist Tom Widger investigates why suicide rates have reached epidemic levels in this specific region. Part of the Routledge Contemporary South Asia Series, this book moves beyond simple statistics to look at the social processes and historical contexts that shape these actions. Drawing from extensive long-term fieldwork within a Sinhala Buddhist community, Widger connects the meanings of suicidal practices to individual lifetimes and broader social structures. This work provides a unique perspective by prioritizing local knowledge and applying anthropological theories of agency and learning to understand a complex global issue. It is an essential resource for students and professionals interested in medical anthropology, sociology, and South Asian studies.
