Fascinating Study on the Links Between Ritual and Power

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago

This is an interesting study in how leaders use ritual (parades, celebrations, etc.) as a means to portray, maintain, and ammeliorate power. Kertzer's book should be required reading for students of political science and history.
