Viac o knihe
Exploring the intersection of witchcraft and social dynamics, this work examines how rumors and gossip serve as triggers for accusations and subsequent violence, including peasant rebellions and witch-hunts. Through diverse examples from regions such as Africa, Europe, India, Papua New Guinea, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia, it highlights the significant impact of these social phenomena on community relations and conflict. The study offers a unique perspective on the cultural implications of belief systems and the societal consequences of fear and suspicion.
