Social Palliation is a groundbreaking exploration of the intricacies of life and death as experienced by first-generation Iranian and Ismaili Muslim communities in Canada. Through ethnographic narratives, Parin Dossa compellingly argues for a transformative shift from traditional palliative care to social palliation. The experiences of displacement and resettlement shed light on the interconnectedness of life and death, emphasizing the need to comprehend their holistic nature. In the face of structural exclusion and systemic suffering, social palliation unveils the valiant efforts of displaced individuals to restore the integrity of life and death. Dossa underscores the profound significance of death as an integral part of the socio-cultural and spiritual experience. Contrary to fragmented perceptions of care in traditional institutional settings or end-of-life care, social palliation highlights an organic form of care that emerges from the trajectories of storied lives. By exemplifying more humane aspects of social palliation, this book forefronts sacred traditions as a means to foster deep-level conversations spanning socio-political boundaries, illuminating the complexities of living and dying in the contemporary world.
