Beschreibung:
A fascinating examination of how Americans think about and write about witches, from the 'real' witches tried and sometimes executed in early New England to modern re-imaginings of witches as pagan priestesses, comic-strip heroines, and feminist icons.
Introduction 1. E Pluribus Unum? (Looks at the Role That Stories of Witchcraft and Magic Played American State-Building) 2. 'Our Town' (Each Town Dealt with Witches its Own Way and Local Micro-Politics Were Involved in Determining the Course of Events) 3. 'There's a Little Witch in Every Woman' (From the Political Consideration of Witchcraft to the Personal - The Gendered and Sexual Aspects of Being a Witch) 4. 'We Will Not Fly Silently into the Night' (Examines the Re-Imagining of Witchcraft as Religion (Wicca), One That is Often Seen as Empowering Women and Helping Reverse the Demonization That Condemned Many in the Colonial Period) 5. Witches in the Family (Explores the Positive Portrayals of Witches in Recent American Culture (Harry Potter, Sabrina the Teenaged Witch)). Conclusion
