AUTHOR
SUMMARY
In this sophisticated study of power and resistance, Jean Comaroff analyzes the changing predicament of the Barolong boo Ratshidi, a people on the margins of the South African state. Like others on the fringes of the modern world system, the Tshidi struggle to construct a viable order of signs and practices through which they act upon the forces that engulf them. Their dissenting Churches of Zion have provided an effective medium for reconstructing a sense of history and identity, one that protests the terms of colonial and post-colonial society and culture.Comaroff, Jean is the author of 'Body of Power, Spirit of Resistance', published 1985 under ISBN 9780226114231 and ISBN 0226114236.
