Neuware - Encountering Witchcraft: Causality, Fear, and Violence in the Modern World is a rigorous and deeply human examination of one of the most enduring and destructive belief systems in human history. Across cultures and continents, misfortune-illness, death, poverty, and personal failure-is often attributed to hidden supernatural agents.
