Case Studies in Spirit Possession.
New York: Wiley Interscience, 1977. First Edition. Hardcover. Large octavo. xx + 458pp. Black cloth lettered in gilt on spine. Ten detailed case histories of spirit possession, written by anthropologists, and ranging in approach from psychoanalytic to social anthropological. None are from voodoo cultures as such, but many bear a striking resemblance. From the collection of Dr. M. H. Coleman, with his ex-libris seal blind-stamped on the front free endpaper. Index. Minor bruising to spine ends, page-edges a little discolored, otherwise a clean VG+ copy in VG dust jacket (dust jacket darkened at edges and spine, edges lightly chafed, several nicks to edges). A genuinely scarce study. Item #49594
