Abstract
The Forest of Taboos Morality, Hunting, and Identity Among the Huaulu of the Moluccas. Valerio Valeri. University of Wisconsin Press, Madison, 2000. 533 pp. $69.95. ISBN 0-299-16210-9. Paper, $29.95. ISBN 0-299-16214-1. In this beautifully written, densely argued, and difficult book, Valeri interweaves straightforward ethnographic reporting with an ambitious treatise on taboo. Douglas believes it will become a classic text in anthropology and that it offers a major contribution to theories of the mind and to the philosophy of religion.Keywords
