Description

This book seeks a reconsideration of the phenomenon of sorcery and related categories.

The contributors to the volume explore the different perspectives on human sociality and social and political constitution that practices typically understood as sorcery, magic and ritual reveal.

In doing so the authors are concerned to break away from the dictates of a western externalist rationalist understanding of these phenomena without falling into the trap of mysticism.

The articles address a diversity of ethnographic contexts in Africa, Asia, the Pacific and the Americas.
