International Witchcraft

Description

This book documents how witchcraft applies to different international cultures. Specifically, the book examines how different tribes around Africa still revere and worship many practices some (mostly Trump voters) would describe as demonic or even Satanic. In these cultures, the witch plays the role of doctor, mediator, and figurehead of several different cultures that reflect differing views on our relationship to nature and the afterlife.
In our examination of witchcraft, it's important to understand not only the gendered ways in which the occult developed but also the racialized way it's often still perceived. Western culture still views many traditional non-Western practices as backwards and inherently non-Christian. This second description of especially important as religious and imperialist ideology come to an especially dangerous intersection in the context of how the West still understands the occult in other countries.
