Transparency and conspiracy : ethnographies of suspicion in the new world order
Through vivid ethnographic analyses, this book examines the range of expressions of the popular suspicion of power - including forms of shamanism, sorcery, conspiracy theory, and urban legends - illuminating them as ways of making sense of the world in the midst of tumultuous and uneven processes of modernization.
