Dear Colleague
I’m seeking chapter proposals for a book I’m putting together, the working title of which is Taking Possession Today.
The edited book deals with 'spirit possession' (sic) in its various forms as it appears in contemporary urban-industrial(ising) societies (e.g. channelling, incorporation, drawing down the moon, demonic possession, etc).
The book is multidisciplinary in scope (e.g. sociology, anthropology, religious studies, cultural studies) and will engage a range of religious contexts (e.g. new religious, Judeo-Christian, Islamic, indigenous, afro-brazilian, Spiritist, etc).
In addition to an introduction, the book will comprise chapters of approximately 8,500 words, each dealing with contemporary forms of spirit possession in the following contexts: North America (2 chaps), UK & Europe (2 chaps), South America (2 chaps), Asia & Australasia (2 chaps), Africa (1 chap).
If you're interested in contributing a chapter will you kindly drop me a line and we can take things from there.
I plan to receive completed chapters by September 2009, with a scheduled publication date of Spring 2010.
If you're not able to contribute, is there anyone you'd suggest I contact?
Thanks for your time and consideration.
Regards.
Andy
