More about the book

Exploring the intersection of witchcraft and sorcery with the dynamics of rumor and gossip, this work highlights how these social phenomena fuel accusations and contribute to social and political violence, including peasant rebellions and witch-hunts. Drawing on diverse examples from regions such as Africa, Europe, India, Papua New Guinea, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia, it reveals the profound impact of gossip in shaping societal conflicts and tensions.
