"In this book, Gregory Shushan explores the relationship between [near death experiences],
shamanism, and beliefs about the afterlife in traditional indigenous societies in
Africa, North America, and Oceania. Drawing on historical accounts of the earliest
encounters with explorers, missionaries, and ethnologists, this study addresses questions
such as: Do ideas about the afterlife commonly originate in NDEs? What role does culture
play in how people experience and interpret NDEs? How can we account for cross-cultural
similarities and differences between afterlife beliefs? Though NDEs are universal,
Shushan shows that how they are actually experienced and interpreted varies by region
and culture."--Book jacket
