جایی که انسان‌ها و ارواح ملاقات می‌کنند: سیاست‌های آیین‌ها و ارواح شناسایی‌شده در زنگبار (هویت‌های اجتماعی (۵))

"Zanzibar, an island off the East African coast, with its Muslim and Swahili population, offers rich material for this study of identity, religion, and multiculturalism. This book focuses on the phenomenon of spirit possession in Zanzibar Town and the relationships created between humans and spirits; it provides a way to apprehend how society is constituted and conceived and, thus, discusses Zanzibari understandings of what it means to be human."--Jacket CONTENTS Map of the Western Indian Ocean PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 1 INTRODUCTION 2 INTRODUCTION TO ZANZIBAR: THE PLACE, ITS POLITICS AND ORGANIZATION 3 SPIRITS, POSSESSION AND PERSONHOOD 4 MAKABILA, PEOPLE AND SPIRITS 5 HUMAN CONCERNS, SPIRITS AND RECREATION OF RELATIONSHIPS 6 BETWEEN SELF AND OTHER: BODY AND MIND 7 GENDER: RELATIONS, MARKERS AND SEXUALITY 8 WOMEN, MEN AND GENDERED SPIRITS 9 CONCLUSIONS: SOCIAL IDENTITIES AND DRAMATIZATION OF THE OTHER GLOSSARY BIBLIOGRAPHY INDEX
