Spirit Possession and Personhood among the Kel Ewey Tuareg - Cambridge Studies in Social and Cultural Anthropology

Tuareg women are sometimes possessed by spirits called 'the people of solitude', from which they are released by an evening ritual. In her analysis of this tolerated but unofficial cult, Susan Rasmussen analyses symbolism and aesthetic values, provides case studies, and reviews what local people think about the meaning of possession.
