Description

Magical Interpretations, Material Realities: Modernity, Witchcraft and the Occult in Postcolonial Africa offers a deep look into contemporary African studies. Published by Routledge, this volume gathers leading scholars to examine how the occult functions within modern social and political landscapes. Rather than treating witchcraft as a relic of a traditional past, these essays use the subject as a way to understand the moral politics of current African realities. Readers will explore the connection between global capitalism and local cosmology through various academic perspectives. The text provides a way to look past exoticized portraits of Africa, focusing instead on the power of the occult imaginary in a postcolonial context. This book is an essential resource for those studying anthropology, sociology, and the complex social structures shaping the continent today.
