　　Shamans are an integral part of communal religious traditions,

professionals who make use of personal supernatural experiences,

especially trance, as a resource for the wider community's physical

and spiritual well-being. This Introduction surveys research on the

topic of shamanism around the world, detailing the archaeology and

earliest development of shamanic traditions as well as their

scientific 'discovery' in the context of eighteenth and nineteenth

century colonization in Siberia, the Americas, and Asia. It

explores the beliefs and rituals typical of shamanic traditions, as

well as the roles of shamans within their communities. It also

surveys the variety of techniques used by shamans cross-culturally,

including music, entheogens, material culture and verbal

performance. The final chapters examine attempts to suppress or

eradicate shamanic traditions, the revitalization of shamanism in

postcolonial situations, and the development of new forms of

shamanism within new cultural and social contexts.
