Silas Ncozana's work sets out to explorethe implications of spirit possession for the Tumbuka people, the largestethnic group in the North of Malawi - about ten percent of the overallpopulation, many of whom converted to Christianity in the latter part ofthe nineteenth century. He considers both the functions of traditionalspirit cults, and the Christian Holy Spirit describing how the Tumbukamoved away from possession in a traditional sense to possession with aChristian understanding of spirit; and how these people built traditionalcultural expression into a new culture. The author then outlines theimplications of these shifts for pastoral care. ... Read more

Product Description
Drawing extensively on primary source historical material, this book explores the social construction of children's bodies in Australian and British schools between 1880 and 1950, focusing on a matrix of discursive practices within three school sites: physical training, medical inspection and sport. The key argument of the book is that these discursive practices were part of a process of constructing the body in modernity. The docile body produced by these practices was pliable and yet economically productive, a body that could be regulated and normalized to ensure the healthy propagation of the race and a ready supply of economically-productive citizens. This study follows the use of these discursive practices in British and Australian schools up to, and including, the two World Wars and after. ... Read more
