Djinns have long been an explanation for illness and misfortune or an excuse for unconventional behaviour. Based on a survey of lower-middle class families in Cairo, this work explores how modern Egyptians make a place for these ancient beings in their busy lives. It investigates possession, manifestations and concepts of person and space.
