At South Indian village funerals, women cry and lament, men drink and laugh, and untouchables sing and joke to the beat of their drums. <i>No One Cries for the Dead </i>offers an original interpretation of these behaviors, which seem almost unrelated to the dead and to the funeral event. Isabelle Clark-Dec?s demonstrates that rather than mourn the dead, these Tamil funeral songs first and foremost give meaning to the caste, gender, and personal experiences of the performers.
