This book aims to change the terms of the debate on animism, arguing that if animism has one outstanding feature, it is its peculiar restrictiveness. The book combines some of the finest ethnographic material currently available (including firsthand research on the Chachi of Ecuador) with an unusually broad geographic scope (the Americas, Asia, and Africa).
