Sobre o livro
Đạo Mẫu and its ritual, Hầu Đồng were prohibited by the French colonials and by the Ho Chi Minh Socialist regime, but has been subtly encouraged since 2000 when it was officially considered as an ancient indigenous folk religion of Vietnam, and an important cultural heritage.
Tewfic El-Sawy is the only photographer to have photographed Hầu Đồng ceremonies in such depth, and documented the maelstrom of trances, possession, spirit worship, fortune telling and clairvoyance, fashion and pageantry, sacred music and hymns, faith, belief, superstition, the supernatural, nationalism and history that constitute Vietnam’s Đạo Mẫu and its ritual; Hầu Đồng. To the best of his knowledge, there are no other photo book on these ceremonies.
