October 24, 2016 Peter Jackson 6 citations
Three scholars from different humanities fields examine the contested concept of 'shamanism'—coined in the late 19th century by V. M. Mikhailovsky—and its current status as both an analytical category in historical research and a source of spiritual revitalization among indigenous peoples in post-Soviet Siberia. The book includes an introduction and critical afterword by historian of religions Ulf Drobin, with essays addressing key issues in cultural history and the history of religions.
