Description: |
From Library Journal
Some is the ideal author for this book, which presents traditional
beliefs about spirit possession and the need for ritual. He grew up in a
village in West Africa and holds advanced degrees from the Sorbonne and
Brandeis University, and he is also a Dagara medicine man and diviner.
Some presents his own reactions to Western culture's enslavement to
machine technology, which, he states, "is the spirit of death made to
look like life." He concentrates on the need for grief ritual and ways
of working with emotion in Western culture. Recommended for academic and
large public libraries.
