\nAbout the study: Dr Judith Bachmann’s dissertation provides a ground-breaking look at the issue of witchcraft in Africa. Based on extensive ethnographic data, it analyses the perspectives of Muslim, Christian and traditional Yoruba communities on witchcraft in contemporary Nigeria. Various aspects are analysed, including the public perception of witchcraft, religious influences and gender relations in the context of these practices.<\/p>\n

A particular focus is placed on the historical development of Yoruba witchcraft, which is contextualised as a local position within a global debate on witchcraft. This work is of great importance for researchers and interested parties from the fields of ethnology, sociology, religious studies, political science, theology and development cooperation. Dr Judith Bachmann, research associate at the University of Heidelberg, brings her expertise and passion for the study of religion in Africa to this groundbreaking work.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n
