What is Death Without Weeping: Ethnographic Insights about?

This document summarizes the book "Death Without Crying: Violence and Everyday Life in Brazil" by Nancy Scheper-Hughes. The book explores how poor mothers in northeastern Brazil accept the high infant mortality rate and do not mourn for their deceased children. The author argues that this represents a form of cultural resistance to the routinization of child death. The document also analyzes the underlying ethics in the actions of these mothers and how they differ from our own conceptions.
