Two classic topics in social anthropology are combined in this work--the study of witchcraft and sorcery and the study of rumors and gossip. After revealing the importance of rumor and gossip as catalysts for accusations of witchcraft and sorcery it demonstrates their role in the genesis of social and political violence as seen in peasant rebellions as well as witch-hunts. The study draws upon examples from Africa Europe India Papua New Guinea Sri Lanka and Indonesia.
