About this title

Synopsis

Luhrmann explains the process through which once-skeptical individuals―educated, middle-class people, frequently of high intelligence―become committed to the ideas behind witchcraft and find magical ritual so compellingly persuasive. This intriguing book draws some disturbing conclusions about the ambivalence of belief within modern urban society.

About the Author

Tanya M. Luhrmann is Associate Professor of Anthropology, University of California, San Diego.
