Enter the fascinating world of the Condomble regions of Brazil,
where interaction between spirits and human is considered an
everyday occurrence. Jim Wafer uncovers the social life, rituals,
folklore, and engaging personalities of the villagers of Jacari,
among whom trances, sorcery, and spirit possession demonstrate the
coexistence of different kinds of reality. This ethnography is
intriguing not only because of the originality of its approach to
the more enigmatic aspects of another culture but also because it
uses insights gained from participation in that culture to reflect
on the paradoxes inherent in the writer's own culture, and in the
human condition in general.
