Shamanism, Colonialism, and the Wild Man A Study in Terror and Healing by: Michael Taussig
Hardcover. University Of Chicago Press, 1st, 1987, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 517 pages. Working with the image of the Indian shaman as Wild Man, Taussig reveals not the magic of the shaman but that of the politicizing fictions creating the effect of the real. A formidable collection of data from arcane literary, journalistic, and biographical sources to bear on questions of evil, torture, and politically institutionalized hatred and terror.
