A long-established cultural practice with roots in Aboriginal Australia, Africa, and Papua New Guinea, scarification is gaining new adherents, as body modifications such as piercing become widely accepted. Scarification is the practice of making precise cuts to the body to create scars in a desired pattern. This captivating book explores the cultural history of scarification, ranging from initiation rituals to commemoration of the dead, and introduces readers to today's scarification trends and techniques. Vivid photographs and engrossing sidebars offer an in-depth look at practitioners of this unusual art form.

Top review from the United States

Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2019
I am an independent researcher and was super excited to recieve this book. However, found it extremely disappointing! Scanty, large font size and extremely vague and shallow content. I learned more from journal articles I downloaded for free online than this entire book. Save your time and money.
