Social Responses to Death and Dying: Introductory Chapters

By Isabelle Reedy Powell

The chapters in this book are a response to my review of the elementary Readers that my Grandparents and Great Grandparents read during their elementary school years. Death in those years was included in poetry and prose. During my school years, 1930 to 1941, Death was not included in the reading assignments or in the discussions. During the late 1980's, there was a consensus among professionals that it should be re-introduced into the curriculum. This book introduces the idea that death is not just a physical, biological event but also a social event.
