Wombs and Alien Spirits Based on nearly two years of ethnographic fieldwork in a Muslim village in northern Sudan, "Wombs and Alien Spirits" explores the zar cult, the most widely practiced traditional healing cult in Africa. Adherents of the cult are usually women with marital or fertility problems, who are possessed by spirits very different from their own proscribed roles as mothers
