Anthropologists have long shown that asking for food in times of need is morally valued in rural Namibia. Yet among the Damara pastoralists with whom I work, people now increasingly describe feeling shame (taob) when they ask for food.

Mortal relationality: waria family care and the ethics of dying in Bali Relationnalité mortelle : soins familiaux des waria et éthique des mourants à Bali

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Can a good death occur for those who balance on the edges of grievability? In Bali, where death marks a transition within the cycles of reincarnation, a good death depends on the mortuary care performed by intimate others – care that may be foreclosed to those whose lives are shaped by stigma.
