Focuses on questions of power, the history and inner dynamics of
cults, and images of the other. The articles in this book make
valuable contributions to the literature of African religious
experience. The majority of the pieces are based on research
conducted in the last 10 to 15 years, and are therefore positioned
to document changes taking place across the continent as possession
beliefs and practices respond to new circumstances and address the
shifting local implications of an increasingly global
socio-economy. Gender, ethnicity, and class are rightly presented
as intersecting forces and features of spirit phenomena. The case
studies presented are richly contextualized: history, social
organization and upheaval, alternative religious options where
applicable - all are considered relevant to an understanding of
possession forms.' - Janice Boddy, University of Toronto Uganda:
