Description:"Driver has persuaded me that ritual ... is our best hope for transformation and innovation. A lovely, original, and hopeful book." --CAROLYN G. HEILBRUN, author of Writing a Woman's Life, Columbia University "Splendid! [Driver] ties all the dimensions of ritual together eloquently—the aesthetic and the moral, the personal and the communal." --HARVEY COX, Harvard University "Makes a strong case for ritual's transformative power." --New Age Journal"Besides mapping out the limits of ritual, [Driver] examines its style. Drawing on experience in Haiti, Korea, New Guinea, and Japan, he points out that ritual, when alive, is playful (but still serious), dramatic (but not exhibitionist), and magical (provoking self-creation, vital transformation). It transforms tradition while retaining it, transforms us while sustaining basic personality." --PETER A. Y. GUNTER, professor of philosophy, University of North Texas, in The Dallas Morning News "An erudite and delightful combination of play and scholarship." --CHRISTOPHER VECSEY, Native American Studies, Colgate University TOM F.
