Review of Michael Berman’s The Nature of Shamanism and the Shamanic Story
Review of Michael Berman’s The Nature of Shamanism and the Shamanic Story

Summary/Abstract: I have tried to write an academic review of Michael Berman’s book and found myself reiterating Aado Lintrop’s points. Then I tried respond to Lintrop and Berman jointly, and this also did not work. In every instance, my criticism of the Berman book was much harsher than Lintrop’s. Indeed, I find Lintrop’s review a remarkable demonstration of scholarly generosity and rhetorical temperance.
