'The articles in this book make valuable contributions to the literature of African religious experience. The majority of the pieces are based on research conducted in the last 10 to 15 years; and are therefore positioned to document changes taking place across the continent as possession beliefs and practices respond to new circumstances and address the shifting local implications of an increasingly global socio-economy. Gender; ethnicity; and class are rightly presented as intersecting forces and features of spirit phenomena. The case studies presented are richly contextualized: history; social organization and upheaval; alternative religious options where applicable - all are considered relevant to an understanding of possession forms.' - Janice Boddy; University of Toronto North America: University of Wisconsin Press; Uganda: Fountain Publishers
