description: Bringing together scholars from different disciplines and geographies the Brill Handbook of Spiritualism and Channeling presents modern spirit possession in a variety of contexts. Weaving together the interrelated movements of Spiritualism along with its specific Franco and Latin American currents articles explore the nineteenth-century beginnings of seances and trance mediumship. Channelling an heir to Spiritualism begun in the 1970s and still flourishing today is brought into direct conversation with its predecessors with a view to showing both continuity and disjuncture as the products of new cultural and religious needs. The Brill Handbook marks the first extensive collection on these two interrelated movements and examines themes such as gender race performance and technology in each instance.
