This book examines witchcraft from various disciplinary lenses and demonstrates the complexities, issues, and challenges in contemporary Africa caused by the belief and practice of witchcraft. One major significance of this volume is its engagement with emerging conceptualisations of witchcraft which, in turn, opens new areas of research such as the intersections of witchcraft and governance, development/underdevelopment, and conflict, as well as disabilities, among others. The book highlights new frontiers of conflict caused by the belief in, and practice of, witchcraft, thereby extending the boundaries of scholarship by inviting scholars to engage closely with how contemporary experiences have forced Africans to interpret witchcraft in new ways. To this end, it provides the reader with holistic knowledge on the phenomenon of witchcraft in African ontology. This text will be of interest to scholars and researchers of African and cultural studies, as well as anyone curious about the subject of witchcraft.
