The Life and Hard Times of a Korean Shaman cover

This hardback, "The Life and Hard Times of a Korean Shaman" from Laurel Kendall, was published 1st March 1988 by University of Hawai'i Press.

Kendall's study of a female shaman interweaves the voices of anthropologist and the shaman into one.... An excellent example of the recent attempts by anthropologists to give expression to the words and lives of respondents and to detail the context in which they are acquired."" --Choice

""Although the book is a very personal account of one shaman's life, [it] also provides a window into the ways and means of the Korean culture and society of the time."" --Korean Quarterly, Spring 2001
