Notes

"A synthesis of ethnographic theory and psychoanalytic revelation, where the line between researcher and subject is blurred--if not erased--The anti-witch develops the contours of an anthropology of therapy, while deeply engaging with what it means to be caught in the logic of witchcraft."--Back cover.
