520    "In 2005, Tony Perman attended a ceremony alongside the 
       living and the dead. His visit to a Zimbabwe farm brought 
       him into contact with the madhlozi, outsider spirits that 
       Ndau people rely upon for guidance, protection, and their 
       collective prosperity. Perman's encounters with the 
       spirits, the mediums who bring them back, and the 
       accompanying rituals form the heart of his ethnographic 
       account of how the Ndau experience ceremonial musicking. 
       As Perman witnessed other ceremonies, he discovered that 
       music and dancing shape the emotional lives of Ndau 
       individuals by inviting them to experience life's 
       milestones or cope with its misfortunes as a group. Signs 
       of the Spirit explores the historical, spiritual, and 
       social roots of ceremonial action and details how that 
       action influences the Ndau's collective approach to their 
       future. The result is a vivid ethnomusicological journey 
       that delves into the immediacy of musical experience and 
       the forces that transform ceremonial performance into 
       emotions and community"--|cProvided by publisher.
