Summary: "Witch hunts are the result of gendered, cultural, and socio-economic struggles over acute structural, economic, and social transformations in both the formation of gendered class societies and that of patriarchal capitalism. The book combines political economy with gender and cultural analysis to explain the articulation of cultural beliefs about women as causing harm, and struggles over patriarchy in periods of structural economic transformation. Starting with field data from India and South-east Asia, the analysis incorporates a large body of works on Africa, the Americas, and early modern Europe. Witch Hunts is a scholarly analysis of the human rights violation of women and its correction through changes in beliefs, masculinity, knowledge practices, and adaptation in structural transformation"-- Provided by publisher.
