Why did so many Americans visit and write about, seances? What are
the connections between the 'emergence' of spiritualism in 1848 and
earlier kinds of supernatural phenomena? This book asks about the
cultural and political meanings of spiritualism in the 19th century
United States. In order to re-assess both transatlantic
spiritualism and the culture in which it emerged, Bennett locates
spiritualism within a highly technologized transatlantic capitalist
culture. She argues that, through performances in which the dead
speak through and to the living, white Americans' most profound
anxieties about political and cultural dispossession, especially of
Indians, are articulated.
