Books by Peter Geschiere

Offers a range of literatures and mythologies such intimate aggression is a source of ultimate terror. This title sketches it as a central ember at the core of human relationships, one brutally revealed in the practice of witchcraft.

Traces the concept of autochthony back to the classical period and incisively explores the idea in two very different contexts: Cameroon and the Netherlands. This book examines the emotional appeal of autochthony - as well as its dubious historical basis - and sheds light on a range of issues, such as multiculturalism, and national citizenship.
