THE LIFE AND HARD TIMES OF A KOREAN SHAMAN
Of Tales and the Telling of Tales

by Laurel Kendall

FORMAT: Softcover, 168 pages. University of Hawaii Press, 1988.

CONDITION: Brand NEW and unmarked; fresh from the publisher.

AUTHOR BIO: Laurel Kendall is assistant curator in charge of Asian ethnographic collections at the American Museum of Natural History. Kendall has written other books including "Shamans, Housewives, and Other Restless Spirits: Women in Korean Ritual Life" and "Getting Married in Korea: Of Gender, Morality, and Modernity" as well as the soon-to-be-released "Shamans, Nostalgias, and the IMF: South Korean Popular Religion in Motion"

KEYWORDS: Korea, Asia, Anthropology, Sociology, Asian studies, textbook

The author re-creates in this innovative work the experiences, visions, and misadventures of a Koren shaman, recording them in a manner that captures the drama and playful humor of the original telling. The shaman's tales are engrossing in their own right, but they become part of an even richer fabric as Kendall interweaves them with poignant and perceptive descriptions of the encounter between anthropologist and informant. THE LIFE AND HARD TIMES OF A KOREAN SHAMAN is more than the life history of an unusual individual; it is an anthropologist's reflections on the life history method.

REVIEWS:

"Kendall's study of a female shaman interweaves the voices of anthropologist and the shaman into one.... An excellent example of the recent attempts by anthropologists to give expression to the words and lives of respondents and to detail the context in which they are acquired." --Choice

"Although the book is a very personal account of one shaman's life, [it] also provides a window into the ways and means of the Korean culture and society of the time." --Korean Quarterly, Spring 2001
