Possessing Spirits And Healing Selves: Embodiment And Transformation In An Afro-Brazilian Religion (Culture, Mind, And Society)

Here, Seligman shows that spirit possession represents a site for understanding fundamental aspects of human experience, especially those involved with interactions among meaning, embodiment, and subjectivity.
