Chicago and London; The University of Chicago Press, 2000. 22x15 cm. vii, (1 blank), 255, (1 blank) pp. Publisher's boards with printed dustjacket. A fine copy. "Adam Ashforth, an Australian who has spent many years in the black township, finds his longtime friend Madumo in dire circumstances: his family has accused him of using witchcraft to kill his mother and has thrown him out on the street. Convinced that his life is cursed, Madumo seeks help among Soweto?s bewildering array of healers and prophets. An inyanga, or traditional healer, confirms that he has indeed been bewitched. With Ashforth by his side, skeptical yet supportive, Madumo embarks upon a physically grueling treatment regimen that he follows religiously -- almost to the point of death -- despite his suspicion that it may be better to 'Westernize my mind and not think about witchcraft'. Ashforth?s beautifully written, at times poignant account of Madumo?s struggle shows that the problem of witchcraft is not simply superstition, but a complex response to spiritual insecurity in a troubling time of political and economic upheaval. Post-apartheid Soweto, he discovers, is suffering from a deluge of witchcraft. Through Madumo?s story, Ashforth opens up a world that few have seen, a deeply unsettling place where the question 'Do you believe in witchcraft?' is not a simple one at all. The insights that emerge as Ashforth accompanies his friend on an odyssey through Soweto?s supernatural perils have profound implications even for those of us who live in worlds without witches." (Front flap).

Book
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. In March 2009, in a small town in Malawi, a nurse at the local hospital was accused of teaching witchcraft to children. Amid swirling rumors, Mrs. K. tried to defend her reputation, but the community nevertheless grew increasingly hostile. The legal, social, and psychological trials that she endured in the struggle to clear her name left her life in shambles, and she died a few years later. In The Trials of Mrs. K., Adam Ashforth studies this and similar stories of witchcraft that continue to circulate in Malawi. At the heart of the book is Ashforths desire to understand how claims to truth, the pursuit of justice, and demands for security work in contemporary Africa, where stories of witchcraft can be terrifying. Guiding us through the history of legal customs and their interactions with the court of public opinion, Ashforth asks challenging questions about responsibility, occult forces, and the imperfect but vital mechanisms of law. A beautifully written and provocative book, The Trials of Mrs. K. will be an essential text for understanding what justice means in a fragile and dangerous world. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
