- Summary:
- "Providing case studies that highlight the diverse gendered voices and stories of people who have ecstatic religious experiences, this book brings together chapters on ecstasy, transformations of the mind and body and interactions between the living and spirits. Focusing on ecstatic contexts across North and South America, Africa, Japan and beyond, this book utilises intersection analysis to uncover the links among racial, social, and gendered political margins. Using a wealth of research from both past and present, the authors interrogate institutional contexts of possession, intoxication and exorcism, uncovering group interactions between people and gods, saints, angels, or demons"-- Provided by publisher.
