Book Synopsis
Argues that, where neoliberal policies have fostered social division rather than security and prosperity, Muedans have, in fact, used sorcery discourse to assess and sometimes overturn reforms, advancing alternative visions of a world transformed.

Trade Review
"Kupilikula is one of the finest examinations of contemporary sorcery that I have read. The writing is clear and unencumbered. The ethnography is rich and nuanced. By the end of the book, the reader has a significantly more profound comprehension of the thorny thicket of contemporary African politics. This is a major contribution to African studies, political anthropology, and the anthropology of religion." - Paul Stoller, West Chester University and Temple University"
