But when she returned in 1985 and sighted a spirit form while participating in the Ihamba ritual of the Ndembu, her perspective changed to the view of millions of Africans - that ritual is the harnessing of spiritual power. Illustrated with photographs. A title in the Series of Contemporary Ethnography. Several appendices, references, index. xii, 239 pp. Near fine in glossy illustrated wrappers (previous owner's name inside front cover). Seller Inventory # 83983
