As they faced these dangers in an unknown rainforest, they sought refuge in prophetic movements directed by charismatic religious leaders.  This book charts the history of Okanisi religious movements from their escape to the present day. It is based on sixty years of fieldwork by the late Bonno Thoden van Velzen and Ineke van Wetering, archival research and oral histories. Prophets of Doom is a tribute to Okanisi society and reflects decades of research and dedication.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword: Two anthropologists at Work: An Insider’s Perspective   Acknowledgements   Glossary   List of Maps and Illustrations   Introduction      1 The Construction of History in Maroon Society      2 The Lost Homeland and the Years of Suffering      3 Loweten: The Great Trek      4 In a Forest Sanctuary      5 The Fight for Supremacy and the Exploration of the Hinterland      6 Peace      7 Dangerous Newcomers      8 A War Like No Other      9 Great Events      10 Saka in Command of the Tribal Obiya      11 New Movements      12 At the Oracle of Gaan Tata      13 A Fury Unleashed      14 The Jungle Commando’s Obiya      15 Demons      16 Hard Facts and the Stories   Archival Sources and References   Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210844922199,"sku":"9789004516366","price":134.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/prophets-of-doom-a-history-of-the-okanisi-maroons-in-suriname-9789004516366","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
