Summary
Rich in detail derived from the author's fieldwork and the anthropological literature, this work paints a picture of possession as one of the usually positive and most widespread of human religious experiences. It also details the ritual of exorcism, which is applied when things go wrong.
The book is published by Indiana University Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks.
