Other Worlds: Notions of Self and Emotion among the Lohorung Rai is a 2000 non-fiction social sciences book by Charlotte Hardman.[1] The book was published on December 1, 2000, through Berg Publishers and is about the rites and rituals the Lohorung people of Nepal use to connect with their dead ancestors.[2][3]
Reception for Other Worlds was mostly positive.[4] A reviewer for the Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute praised the book as being "a valuable contribution to the ethnography of east Nepal".[5] Gregory Maskarinec of Anthropos commented that Other Worlds "must have lacked a copy editor" due to the book's uneven feel and typographical errors.[6]
