Originally published in 1978 Spirit Possession and Spirit
Mediumship in Africa and Afro-America is an incredibly diverse and
comprehensive bibliography on published works containing
ethnographic data on, and analysis of, spirit possession and spirit
mediumship in North and Sub-Saharan Africa and in some
Afro-American communities in the Western Hemisphere. The sources on
Western Afro-American communities were chosen to shed light on the
African continent and the Americas. The bibliography, while not
exhaustive, provides extensive research on the area of research in
spiritualism in Africa and Afro-America. The bibliography also
provides unique sources on spirit cults, ritual or ethnic groups
and will be of especial interest to researchers. Although published
in the late 70s, this book will still provide an incredibly useful
research tool for academics in the area of religion, with a focus
on spiritualism and non-western religions.

Contemporary religious movements in America vary greatly in their
organization, goals, methods, and membership. Reflecting the
striking diversity of the current religious movement, the papers in
this volume consider three categories of religious movements:
native American churches, recently founded religious groups, and
syncretistic groups based on imported cults. The general aim is to
understand the varieties of human behavior within these
institutions and to point out their relationship to society in the
United States. Originally published in 1975. The Princeton Legacy
Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make
available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
