Locating the Soul of Healing Performance in Malaysia

---

AS Hardy Shafii & Others (eds)

In Malaysia, as elsewhere. traditional healing has often been bound up with dramatic performance. In the face of the advance of Western medicine many of these practices, which were ingrained in communities even before the arrival of Hinduism and Buddhism in the country, are fast disappearing. The collection of articles in this book sets out to document some of these practices including bageh, main teri, kuda kepang mabuk, seladai and the Hindu rituals surrounding Thaipusam. New Paperback. Reprint. Originally published in 2017. 91 pages with an index and some black and white photographs.
