Summary

"To be called a witch, a bitch, a demon, or a monster is to be seen as a member of an ancient and large community of marginalized people who could not or would not wear the glamours a fearful elite jealously guarding their hordes of power demand as acts of reassurance and fealty. This collection of essays recounts the lives and trials of accused witches and considers parallels to present-day questions of social justice"--, Provided by publisher
