Human Spirits: A Cultural Account of Trance in Mayotte - Cambridge Studies in Cultural Systems
Michael Lambek
This book describes and interprets trance behaviour among the Malagasy speakers of Mayotte. The author argues that trance can best be understood as a social activity rather than as a psychological problem or a means of manipulating others. This book should be of particular interest to those concerned with the study of ritual, symbols and non-Western religious systems.
