L'Autel le plus haut. Le Sacrifice humain de l'Antiquit� � nos jours
France: �ditions Robert Laffont 1991 Quelques photos couleurs au centre du livre. � L'Autel le Plus Haut est un ouvrage � mi-chemin entre r�cit de voyage et �tude anthropologique se d�roulant dans les Andes dans l'ancienne �re de domination Inca. Contrairement � ce que le titre peut laisser penser il ne s'agit aucunement d'une �tude historique et certainement pas de l'antiquit� � nos jours. En fait il s'agit d'un ouvrage consacr� � la pratique de l'ensevelissement rituel d'enfants au sommet des montagnes andines et � la r�surgence de ces pratiques sacrificielles depuis les ann�es 1960.� Autocollant vierge en deuxi�me de couverture; petite pliure au coin inf. de la couverture. Autrement le livre est en excellent �tat. �ditions Robert Laffont paperback

Schroeder Roger
Initiation and Religion: A Case Study from the Wosera of Papua New Guinea
Suisse: University Press 1992 � The book offers a description of the Wosera male initiation rites from various perspectives. Beginning with a general background of the wider religious cultural and ritual context of Melanesia and a detailed description of the Wosera male initiation the author analyses its religious and cultural meaning. From understanding the meaning of traditional initiation he shifts to the stage of dialogue integration and inculturation with the present-day situation of Christianity. While this thesis is focused on a particular case study the general methodology results and reflections also have some pertinence for other situations especially in Melanesia.� University Press paperback

McCarthy Frederick D.
Australian Aboriginal Rock Art
Australia: The Austrelian Museum 1979 Frederick McCarthy was employed by the Australian Museum for 44 years and was the curator of the Anthropology department from 1941-1964. As early as 1938 McCarthy was responsive to the threat to aboriginal rock art and engravings. With his colleague Sydney University's Professor Shellshear he pushed for state legislation to protect and preserve Aboriginal sites. Despite continuing efforts it was not until the 1970s that the commencement of legal protection of Aboriginal Heritage was realised. This is one of his most recognizable works the result of his many years of study and personal insights into this seldom seen artifact of a lost time. The Austrelian Museum paperback

Melo Joaquim
Viva favela ! Quand les d�munis prennent leur destin en mains
France: Michel Lafon Collection T�moignage 2009 Le Conjunto Palmeiras n'�tait au d�part qu'une favela un bidonville � vingt kilom�tres de la ville touristique de Fortaleza au nord du Br�sil. Il est aujourd'hui un v�ritable quartier. Les habitants se sont battus depuis les ann�es 1970 pour de meilleures conditions de vie affrontant tour � tour la dictature l'administration et les catastrophes climatiques. Joaquim Melo ancien s�minariste et pilier de cette aventure t�moigne avec �motion de son engagement dans ce combat collectif contre la pauvret�. Apr�s de nombreuses batailles pour relier le bidonville aux services de la ville il nous explique comment allant contre l'avis de la Banque centrale du Br�sil il a cr�� une monnaie propre � la favela et relanc� le commerce local notamment gr�ce au micro-cr�dit. Depuis quarante-six banques communautaires ont vu le jour sur le mod�le de celle du Conjunto Palmeiras : la Banque Palmas. Les habitants g�rent � pr�sent une enveloppe de pr�s de deux millions de reals. � l'heure o� le monde recherche des mod�les anti-crise et des alternatives pour combattre la pauvret� Joaquim Melo nous d�livre un message d'espoir et r�v�le les clefs de son engagement aux c�t�s des habitants des Palmeiras. Un t�moignage riche et universel � mettre entre toutes les mains. Michel Lafon (Collection T�moignage) paperback

Le Portail
�ditions de La Table Ronde 2000 Ce voyage en pays khmer orchestr� par un homme d'exception l'ethnologue Fran�ois Bizot est un parcours quasi-initiatique. S'il fut prisonnier des r�volutionnaires khmers rouges pendant trois mois en 1971 touchant du doigt l'atroce et l'innommable Bizot fut aussi un interlocuteur privil�gi� de Douch son tortionnaire cambodgien. Cet homme deviendra d'ailleurs l'un des plus terribles chefs de guerre du si�cle. Trente ans apr�s � travers ce t�moignage d'une sensibilit� et d'une intelligence remarquables l'auteur revient sur cette exp�rience traumatisante et met ainsi le doigt sur les paradoxes de l'�tre humain sur les rapports ambigus entre victime et bourreau et sur la qu�te d'id�al pr�sente en chacun de nous et coupable des pires atrocit�s. Sa connaissance de l'Asie du Sud-Est et du bouddhisme fait de son ouvrage un document exemplaire une v�ritable le�on de vie. Fran�ois Bizot est aussi l'auteur de deux autres ouvrages consacr�s � ses recherches en Asie Le Chemin de Lanka et La Guirlande de joyaux. --Marine Segalen �ditions de La Table Ronde paperback
