Excellent- More about Developing the Dead: Mediumship and Selfhood in Cuban Espiritismo
The study of the relationships developed by mediums between the living and the dead, known as Spiritism, is a project of developing the self, according to Diana Espírito Santo's book. This understanding of selfhood is different from Enlightenment ideas and has implications for prophecy, healing, and self-consciousness.
Format: Paperback / softback

Publisher: University Press of Florida
When mediums cultivate relationships between the living and the dead, argues Diana Espírito Santo, they develop, learn, sense, dream, and connect to multiple spirits ( muertos ), expanding the borders of the self. This understanding of selfhood is radically different from Enlightenment ideas of an autonomous, bounded self and holds fascinating implications for prophecy, healing, and self-consciousness. Developing the Dead shows how Espiritismo's self-making process permeates all aspects of life, not only for its own practitioners but also for those of other Afro-Cuban religions.
