Book Synopsis
Why do we celebrate Halloween? No one gets the day off, and unlike all other major holidays it has no religious or governmental affiliation. A
survivor of our pre-Christian, agrarian roots, it has become one of the most popular and widely celebrated festivals on the contemporary
American calendar.Jack Santino has put together the first collection of essays to examine the evolution of Halloween from its Celtic origins
through its adaptation into modern culture. Using a wide variety of perspectives and approaches, the thirteen essayists examine customs,
communities, and material culture to reveal how Halloween has manifested itself throughout all aspects of our society to become not just a
marginal survivor of a dying tradition but a thriving, contemporary, post-industrial festival. Its steadily increasing popularity, despite
overcommercialization and criticism, is attributed to its powerful symbolism that employs both pre-Christian images and concepts from popular
culture to appeal to groups of all ages, orientations, and backgrounds. However, the essays in this volume also suggest that there is something
ironic and unsettling about the immense popularity of a holiday whose main images are of death, evil, and the grotesque.Halloween and other
Festivals of Death and Life is a unique contribution that questions our concepts of religiosity and spirituality while contributing to our
understanding of Halloween as a rich and diverse reflection of our society’s past, present, and future identity.The Editor: Jack Santino is an
associate professor in the department of popular culture at Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio.
