Edition Notes
This book is an account of stambeli, the healing trance music developed by sub-Saharan African slaves who were brought to Tunisia during the eighteenth century. In stambeli ritual, sub-Saharan spirits and North African Muslim saints make up a pantheon of unseen beings that heal humans through possession trance. Jankowsky shows that stambeli is marked by a series of "others"--the sprits and the humans they heal; the stambeli musicians, most of whom are of sub-Saharan descent, and the patients, who are note; and stambeli music itself, which is characterized by instruments and elements that are distinctly not Tunisian--which allows the ritual to play a dual role as a site of healing and as a space of social and historical encounter. It is both ethnography and history of the complex relationship between Tunisia's Arab and sub-Saharan populations.
