Abstract
This book is about a rethinking of temporality and history in a variety of transcultural contexts that do not necessarily take time in a linear or irreversible fashion, as a #ow which goes from the past to the future in a unidirectional line. But the book is also about understanding the impact of traumatic pasts and how they wield themselves in different ways in present moments and dimensions. ere is perhaps no better place to start than with the practice that is epitomized as expressing this past: spirit “possession.
