Book Reviews of The Ritual Process: Structure and Anti-Structure (Symbol, Myth, and Ritual Series)

Book Review: It all starts here...
Summary: 4 Stars

Whether one agrees with him or not, ritual studies as a sub-field straddling anthropology, ethnography and religious studies begins with Victor Turner, and if you want to understand it you need to know this book intimately. Whether or not ritual studies has really moved beyond Victor Turner is a hot topic of debate for those of us who deal with this area of research...but whether or not you need to know him is a given, and it all starts with this text.
