520    Throughout West African societies, at times of social 
       crises, postmenopausal women--the Mothers--make a ritual 
       appeal to their innate moral authority. The seat of this 
       power is the female genitalia. Wielding branches or 
       pestles, they strip naked and slap their genitals and bare
       breasts to curse and expel the forces of evil. In An 
       Intimate Rebuke Laura S. Grillo draws on fieldwork in Côte
       d'Ivoire that spans three decades to illustrate how these 
       rituals of Female Genital Power (FGP) constitute religious
       and political responses to abuses of power. When deployed 
       in secret, FGP operates as spiritual warfare against 
       witchcraft; in public, it serves as a political activism. 
       During Côte d'Ivoire's civil wars FGP challenged the 
       immoral forces of both rebels and the state. Grillo shows 
       how the ritual potency of the Mothers' nudity and the 
       conjuration of their sex embodies a moral power that has 
       been foundational to West African civilization. 
       Highlighting the remarkable continuity of the practice 
       across centuries while foregrounding the timeliness of FGP
       in contemporary political resistance, Grillo shifts 
       perspectives on West African history, ethnography, 
       comparative religious studies, and postcolonial studies.
