Source Name: Designs for Living
Creator/s: Monni Adams, published under the Carpenter Center for Visual Arts in cooperation with the Peabody Museum of Ethnology and Archaeology
Years Active: 1982
About: This is a book overwhelmingly about African art design, but it briefly mentions various spirit relationships (including possession) in passing, which may be of interest. Dig around in the citations. Peoples/regions discussed include the Baule (Cote d'Ivoire), Ibibio (Nigeria), and Yoruba (Nigeria).
Archives: Available on paper. Someone scanned it into archive.org, but it's not screenreadable. I also plaintext transcribed some of it here, but it's very incomplete.
Notes: Plurality has such a whitewashing problem that I feel the need to link even tangential sources that prove that no, white doctors didn't invent multiplicity, nor do they have the fullest conception of what it is and can be. So there will be a bunch of tangential sources here, just so everyone knows they exist.
