The seat of this power is the female genitalia. Wielding branches or pestles, they strip naked and slap their genitals and bare breasts to curse and expel the forces of evil. In An Intimate Rebuke Laura S. Grillo draws on fieldwork in Côte d’Ivoire that spans three decades to illustrate how these rituals of Female Genital Power (FGP) constitute religious and political responses to abuses of power. When deployed in secret FGP operates as spiritual warfare against witchcraft; in public it serves as a political activism. During Côte d’Ivoire’s civil wars FGP challenged the immoral forces of both rebels and the state. Grillo shows how the ritual potency of the Mothers’ nudity and the conjuration of their sex embodies a moral power that has been foundational to West African civilization.Religious cultures of African and African diaspora people.Older womenReligious lifeCôte d'IvoireOlder womenPolitical activityCôte d'IvoireGenerative organs, FemaleSymbolic aspectsCôte d'IvoireGenerative organs, FemaleReligious aspectsGenerative organs, FemalePolitical aspectsCôte d'IvoireCôte d'IvoireReligionOlder womenReligious lifeOlder womenPolitical activityGenerative organs, FemaleSymbolic aspectsGenerative organs, FemaleReligious aspects.Generative organs, FemalePolitical aspects305.4096668Grillo Laura S.1956-997948NDDNDDBOOK9910311930703321An intimate rebuke2288740UNINA
