Richard Werbner focuses on Eloyi, an Apostolic faith-healing church in Botswanas capital. Werbner shows how charismatic prophets-holy hustlers-diagnose, hustle, and shock patients during violent and destructive exorcisms. He also shows how these healers enter into prayer and meditation and take on their patients pain and how their ecstatic devotions create an aesthetic in which beauty beckons God. Werbner challenges theoretical assumptions about mimesis and empathy, the power of the word, and personhood. With its accompanying DVD, Holy Hustlers, Schism, and Prophecy integrates textual and filmed ethnography and provides a fresh perspective on ritual performance and the cinematic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51939584868640,"sku":"NEW0520268547","price":35.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/holy-hustlers-schism-and-prophecy-apostolic-reformation-in-botswana-the-anthropology-of-christianity-volume-11-0520268547","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
