Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This study examines the topic of food taboos in its social
context and the social process in which the taboos are embedded. These taboos occur during
illness when native curers often prescribe that specific foods be avoided, and in infancy
'…when parents and full siblings of the newborn are restricted from eating specific foods,
lest it cause the infant harm, or even death ' (p. 174).
