Book description

Witch hunts are the result of gendered, cultural and socioeconomic struggles over acute structural, economic and social transformations in both the formation of gendered class societies and that of patriarchal capitalism. This book combines political economy with gender and cultural analysis to explain the articulation of cultural beliefs about women as causing harm, and struggles over patriarchy in periods of structural economic transformation. It brings in field data from India and South-East Asia and incorporates a large body of works on witch hunts across geographies and histories. Witch Hunts is a scholarly analysis of the human rights violation of women and its correction through changes in beliefs, knowledge practices and adaptation in structural transformation.

Reviews

‘It is interesting, important and well grounded in both older and newer approaches to witchcraft. The general argument about witchcraft, gender, patriarchy and structural changes in the economy is also quite persuasive, though I am sure there will be quibbles. From my point of view, the book looks both original and important.'

Arjun Appadurai - New York University

‘Very impressive! The authors manage to cover a lot of ground. Am really impressed by the wide scope of the book, both because of all the areas and themes covered and because of the authors' wide reading! So many literature references and ideas … I think the focus on witch-hunts is original and productive.'

Peter Geschiere - University of Amsterdam and author of Witchcraft

‘Witch Hunts provides an illuminating exploration of how beliefs in witches function to explain misfortunes, virtually always in the context of significant economic and social transformations. Such processes are routinely gendered, transferring land and social power usually from women to men, and thus creating or strengthening patriarchies. Innovative is that the authors take the standpoint of the victims of witch hunts in accounting for such practices and beliefs. Decades of field work in India, and archival resources from primarily Africa and early modern Europe, provide the solid evidential basis for analyses of similarities and differences between witch hunts across geographies and histories. Clearly written and well-organized, this will make fascinating reading for courses in history, economics, anthropology and women's studies.'

Sandra Harding - Emeritus Professor of Philosophy, University of California at Los Angeles

‘A fascinating account, in horrifying detail, of the under-side of community and family life. We see patriarchy at its worst in this book which is an expert analysis of the socio-economic reasons for the treatment of women as witches, but with rays of hope on societal mechanisms which prevent or punish perpetrators. Highly recommended as it is both moving and knowledgeable.'

‘. excellent analysis and new insights of critical importance to policymakers in Africa on a human rights issue affecting women and the elderly in Africa.'

Sheila Oparaocha - ENERGIA International

‘Based on field work data on India and drawing on voluminous body of works on witchcraft and witch hunt across geography and history beyond continents and across disciplines and perspectives, Govind Kelkar and Dev Nathan lay bare general principles that produce, reinforce and weaken witch hunts in societies. This they do by brilliant engagement with three critical factors of witchcraft belief, gender struggle and socio-economic transformation by combining the lens of political economy with cultural analysis. Large in canvas, comparative in perspective and refreshing in analysis, the book will enrich anyone interested in issues of gender, witch hunts, socio-economic transformation, political economy and indigenous peoples.'

Virginius Xaxa - former Professor of Sociology, Delhi School of Economics

‘…Witch Hunts represents an important contribution to the literature. … the book points to several promising avenues for further research that will hopefully be pursued by the authors and those inspired by their work.'

Reviews for "Experience the Power of Stressless Magic Large"

1. Sarah Smith - 2/5 stars - I was really disappointed with the Stressless Magic Large chair. While it does have a sleek and modern design, the comfort level just wasn't there for me. The padding was too firm and didn't contour to my body properly, causing discomfort and aching after sitting for long periods of time. Additionally, the reclining mechanism was clunky and difficult to use. Overall, I expected much more from this chair and would not recommend it.

2. John Johnson - 1/5 stars - The Stressless Magic Large chair was a complete letdown for me. Firstly, the build quality was subpar. The stitching on the upholstery started coming loose just weeks after purchase, which was highly disappointing considering the price point of this chair. Secondly, the cushioning was not as comfortable as I had hoped. It felt too firm and did not provide adequate support for my back. Lastly, the reclining feature was quite noisy and didn't feel smooth at all. Save your money and look elsewhere for a better chair.

3. Jennifer Thomas - 2/5 stars - I had high hopes for the Stressless Magic Large chair, but unfortunately, it fell short in many aspects. The design is aesthetically pleasing, but the comfort level does not match up. The cushioning feels too firm and lacks the plushness I was expecting. Additionally, the reclining feature is not as smooth or easy to use as advertised. It requires a lot of effort to adjust the position, which defeats the purpose of a "stressless" chair. I would not recommend this chair if you are looking for true comfort and relaxation.
