His visit to a Zimbabwe farm brought him into contact with the madhlozi, outsider spirits that Ndau people rely upon for guidance, protection, and their collective prosperity. Perman's encounters with the spirits, the mediums who bring them back, and the accompanying rituals form the heart of his ethnographic account of how the Ndau experience ceremonial musicking. As Perman witnessed other ceremonies, he discovered that music and dancing shape the emotional lives of Ndau individuals by inviting them to experience life's milestones or cope with its misfortunes as a group. Signs of the Spirit explores the historical, spiritual, and social roots of ceremonial action and details how that action influences the Ndau's collective approach to their future. The result is a vivid ethnomusicological journey that delves into the immediacy of musical experience and the forces that transform ceremonial performance into emotions and community"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Ndau (African people) $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Ndau (African people) $x Social life and customs. 650 0 $a Rites and ceremonies $z Zimbabwe. 650 0 $a Dance $z Zimbabwe. 650 0 $a Drum $x Performance $z Zimbabwe. 650 0 $a Music, Influence of $z Zimbabwe. 650 0 $a Spirit possession $z Zimbabwe. 650 0 $a Spiritualism $z Zimbabwe. 650 7 $a Dance. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00887402 650 7 $a Drum $x Performance. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00899032 650 7 $a Music, Influence of. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01030670 650 7 $a Rites and ceremonies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01098216 650 7 $a Spirit possession. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01130054 650 7 $a Spiritualism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01130170 651 7 $a Zimbabwe. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01209419 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i Online version: $a Perman, Tony, 1973- $t Signs of the spirit $d Urbana : University of Illinois Press, 2020. $z 9780252052132 $w (DLC) 2019052273 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117025152.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=89CC1EA28FC011ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
