Descrizione Prayer Has Spoiled Everything
Bori are mischievous and invisible beings that populate the bush. Bori is also the practice of taming these forces in the context of possession ceremonies. This book offers an account of how this phenomenon intervenes in human lives, providing meaning for Mawri peasants confronted with cultural contradictions and socio-economic marginalisation.
