  Presents an account of the healing trance music created by the descendants of sub-Saharan slaves brought to Tunisia during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Part ethnography, part history of the complex relationship between Tunisia's Arab and sub-Saharan populations, this book is also suitable for students of ethnomusicology, and religion.
