Shamanism in the Contemporary Novel examines how shamanism is used as a significant trope in a selection of novels. Özlem Ögüt Yazicioglu contends that the shamanic figures and societies featured in these works have been subjected to marginalization, dislocation, and dispossession through imperialist, colonialist, and capitalist encroachments in different historical contexts.
