In God of Justice, anthropologist William S. Sax offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of cursing, black magic, and ritual healing in the Central Himalayas of North India. Based on ten years’ ethnographic fieldwork, God of Justice shows how these practices are part of a moral system based on the principle of family unity.
