Haunted by the Archaic Shaman critically engages the general
discourse on shamanism by using ethnographic data gathered among
different ethnic groups in the Nepal Himalayas to address several
key conceptual issues and problems in the scholarly field of
shamanic studies. Sidky not only tackles topics that appear beyond
resolution to many, such as defining shamanism and delimiting its
geographical scope, but also challenges on empirical and
theoretical grounds several widely held ideas that have assumed the
status of incontrovertible facts, such as the antiquity of
shamanism and its place in the rise of human religiosity. This book
makes a significant theoretical contribution to the field of
shamanic studies and the anthropology of religion.
