Proposing a new theoretical framework, this book explores
Shamanism's links with violence from a global perspective.
Contributors, renowned anthropologists and authorities in the
field, draw on their research in Mongolia, China, Korea, Malaysia,
Nepal, India, Siberia, America, Papua New Guinea, Taiwan to
investigate how indigenous shamanic cultures dealt, and are still
dealing with, varying degrees of internal and external violence.
During ceremonies shamans act like hunters and warriors, dealing
with many states related to violence, such as collective and
individual suffering, attack, conflict and antagonism. Indigenous
religious complexes are often called to respond to direct and
indirect competition with more established cultural and religious
traditions which undermine the sociocultural structure, the sense
of identity and the state of well-being of many indigenous groups.
This book explores a more sensitive vision of shamanism, closer to
the emic views of many indigenous groups.
