The Salem witch photograph is a controversial image that allegedly captures a glimpse of one of the accused witches during the Salem witch trials in the late 17th century. The photograph, which surfaced in the 19th century, has been a subject of debate among historians, skeptics, and believers. According to some accounts, the Salem witch photograph was taken by an anonymous photographer during the height of the witch trials in 1692. It supposedly shows a woman with a noose around her neck, standing defiantly in front of a crowd of onlookers. This image is said to be the only surviving visual record of the witch trials and provides a rare glimpse into the events that unfolded during that dark period of American history. Proponents of the photograph argue that it is a legitimate piece of evidence that supports the existence of witchcraft and the persecution of innocent people.

What I Thought

Okorafor s creativity and sense of humor really get to shine in this book and I adored everything from the tungwas floating bags of teeth, bone, meat and hair. As I mentioned at the beginning of the review it s the same problem I had with Who Fears Death sympathetic characters are made unsympathetic because their incessant immaturity and impulsivity.

Proponents of the photograph argue that it is a legitimate piece of evidence that supports the existence of witchcraft and the persecution of innocent people. They believe that the woman in the photograph was unjustly accused and executed as a witch, and her haunting image serves as a reminder of the injustice that took place during the Salem witch trials. However, skeptics have raised doubts about the authenticity of the photograph.

Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorafor

B orn in New York to Nigerian parents, 12-year-old Sunny follows her family back to their home country, where she finds it hard to fit in. Not only is she treated like a foreigner, but she is albino and ostracized at school for her differences. Until, that is, she falls in with a new group of friends who are descended from Leopard People, mysterious practitioners of old magic tied to ancient African religions. In the world of the Leopard People, Sunny’s albinism is a portent of great power, but first she has to learn how to wield it. Akata Witch (retitled What Sunny Saw in the Flames in Nigeria and the U.K. due to the derogatory meaning of ‘akata’ in some Nigerian dialects) is the first in a trilogy by Hugo and Nebula award-winning Nigerian-American author Nnedi Okorafor. Okorafor’s novels tend to reflect both her West-African heritage and American experiences, but in this series she creates a stunningly original world of African magic that draws on Nigerian folk beliefs and rituals instead of relying on the predictable tropes of Western fantasy novels. —Aryn Baker Buy Now: Akata Witch on Bookshop | Amazon
