Resisting state iconoclasm among the Loma of Guinea - By Christian Kordt Højbjerg
Locality and Belonging
Locality and Belonging provides an international overview of the close relationship between territory and cultural identity. The issue of 'belonging' has long been recognized as crucial to the study of identity within anthropology. Here, contributors from Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands, France and the UK present rigorous case studies of 'belonging' from the UK, South Africa, Argentina, Zanzibar, Amazonia, Indonesia and West Africa. Among the the…

Mestizo Logics: Anthropology of Identity in Africa and Elsewhere
Historical Dictionary of Togo
Togo is a small West African country nestled between Benin and Ghana, extending from its narrow coastline 320 miles inland to Burkina Faso.

The Red Fez: Art and Spirit Possession in Africa
This text explores the ways in which colonial Europeans have been represented in African ritual art and drama. Kramer sets out to show that African images of Europeans - in sculpture, masquerades and above all spirit possession - are the reverse and also the counterpart of European images of the Other as savage, whether noble or ignoble. In ways which may echo 19th-century European realism, they reveal the power of the detail: a feather, a car, o…
Unleashing spirits and unbounding gender: Vocal gods and polyvalent discourse in watchi possession
The paper examines the role played by spirits possession in defining and rearranging social relationships among a group of Watchi-Ewe. Possession by spirits is instrumental in defining concepts of self at a societal level, and women who come to experience possession refer to this as a life-changing event which alters relationships between genders, between different categories of women, and also between humans and the cosmological realm. Although …
