Powwowing Among the Pennsylvania Dutch – A Traditional Medical Practice in the Modern World: Pennsylvania German History and Culture
Autor David W. Kriebelen Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 iul 2016
Based on seven years of fieldwork and extensive interviews, David Kriebel s study reveals the vibrant world, history, and culture of powwowing in southeastern and central Pennsylvania. He describes, compares, and contrasts powwowing practices of the past and the present; discusses in detail the belief in powwowing as healing; and assesses the future of Braucherei. Biographical sketches of seven living powwowers shed additional light on this little-understood topic.
A groundbreaking inquiry into Pennsylvania German culture and history, Powwowing Among the Pennsylvania Dutch opens a window onto an archaic, semi-mystical tradition still very much in practice today. "
