Original research (one edit summary suggests it's a student essay), I can't find this discussed in the academic literature mentioned. Not sure what the numbers at the ends of sentences represent. Dougweller (talk) 09:30, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete with regret - it seems to be unsalvagable OR. We have an existing article Machi (shaman) which covers the topic generally, however this article looks like a college essay arguing an OR perspective on the effects of decolonisation. A nicely written essay, and the editor would make a good addition to the community. Still, rules is rules. Manning (talk) 12:12, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Nice essay, but agree with both Manning and the nominator that it is not suitable for inclusion as an ecyclopedia article. It represents original research and, based on my own brief investigation, the article cannot be salvaged by rewriting it using reliable secondary sources, because there don't appear to be any.
