Paperback. Zustand: Good. National Bestseller A New Yorker Best Book of 2024 A "thought-provoking and timely" (The Times, London) global history of witch trials across Europe, Africa, and the Americas, told through thirteen distinct trials that illuminate a pattern of demonization and conspiratorial thinking that has profoundly shaped human history. This "inventive and compelling" (The Times Literary Supplement, London) work of social history travels through thirteen witch trials across history, some famous--like the Salem witch trials--and some lesser-known: on Vardø island, Norway, in the 1620s, where an indigenous Sami woman was accused of murder; in France in 1731, during the country's last witch trial, where a young woman was pitted against her confessor and cult leader; in Lesotho in 1948, where British colonial authorities executed local leaders. Exploring how witchcraft was feared, then decriminalized, and then reimagined as gendered persecution, Witchcraft takes on the intersections between gender and power, indigenous spirituality and colonial rule, political conspiracy and individual resistance. Offering a striking, dramatic journey unspooling over centuries and across continents, Witchcraft is a "well-rounded insight into some of the strangest and cruelest moments in history" (Buzz Magazine), giving voice to those who have been silenced by history.…

Zustand: Very Good. : Sumérgete en una historia global y fascinante de la brujería, desde la Edad Media hasta nuestros días, a través de trece juicios significativos. Marion Gibson ilumina las historias de las víctimas, en su mayoría mujeres, que han sido marginadas y etiquetadas como malvadas y peligrosas a lo largo de la historia. Este libro explora los orígenes de la caza de brujas, cómo la brujería fue reinterpretada por abogados e historiadores radicales, y cómo las sospechas de hechicería llevaron al asesinato en la era del jazz en Pensilvania. También examina los efectos del colonialismo y el fervor misionero cristiano en las brujas de África, y cómo, incluso hoy en día, un juicio de brujas puede adoptar muchas formas. Una lectura esencial para comprender cómo el miedo puede ser utilizado como arma y cómo las líneas entre bruja y cazador de brujas se han desdibujado a lo largo del tiempo.
