Aprašymas

Stoller brilliantly recreates the reality of spirit presence; hosts are what they mediate, and spirits become flesh and blood in the 'fusion' with human existence. . . . An excellent demonstration of the benefits of a new genre of ethnographic writing. It expands our understanding of the harsh world of Songhay mediums and sorcerers.--Bruce Kapferer, American Ethnologist A vivid story that will appeal to a wide audience. . . . The voices of individual Songhay are evident and forceful throughout the story. . . . Like a painter, [Stoller] is concerned with the rich surface of things, with depicting images, evoking sensations, and enriching perceptions. . . . He has succeeded admirably. --Michael Lambek, American Anthropologist Events (ceremonies and life histories) are evoked in cinematic style. . . . [This book is] approachable and absorbing--it is well written, uncluttered by jargon and elegantly structured.--Richard Fardon, Times Higher Education Supplement Compelling, insightful, rich in ethnographic detail, and worthy of becoming a classic in the scholarship on Africa.--Aidan Southall, African Studies Review
