Colour Coding

AbstractOne of the most conspicuous aspects of religious experience in Zulu Zionist Churches is the bright colours that are worn and otherwise employed. Surprisingly, this highly visible feature has attracted only passing attention from those who have studied these Churches; certainly no serious effort has been made to uncover the ritual significance of their colour symbolism. Against the background of anthropological studies of the therapeutic deployment of colour symbols in Africa and in the light of my own research among Zulu Zionists, this article sets out to show that the colours selected by Zionists from among those of salience to Africans express how they situate themselves within their social universe and plot the process of their response to it in ritual healing.

AbstractSingh conflates diverse religious statuses into a single category that includes practitioners with roles that differ significantly from empirical characteristics of shamans. The rejection of biological models of trance and conspicuous display models misses the evolutionary roots of shamanism involving the social functions of ritual in producing psychological and social integration and ritual healing.
