Viac o knihe
Exploring the intersection of anthropology and postmodernism, the book delves into the concept of spirit possession as a metaphor for the modern state. Through a dialogue with a spirit queen, it examines how the state is sustained by the spirits of those who suffered during colonial conquests and anti-colonial struggles. This work of ficto-criticism challenges traditional narratives and invites readers to reconsider the legacies of violence and memory in shaping contemporary society.
