Embodying Colonial Memories: Spirit Possession, Power, and the Hauka in West Africa 1st edition
Paul Stoller
A study of the West African Hauka - spirits that grotesquely mimic and mock "Europeans" of the colonial epoch. The author considers spirit possession as a set of embodied practices with serious social and cultural consequences.
