Magic, witchcraft, and curing
John Middleton (ed.)
This volume of readings presents ethnographic accounts of magical
beliefs and behavior, covering most of the usual aspects described
by anthropologists : magic, witchcraft and sorcery, divination, and curing.
All the writers whose work is included have placed their analyses
firmly in their social contexts. They are describing, not exotic bugaboos,
but beliefs actually held by people who accept them and take note of them
in their everyday lives.
