This book will interest those who have already made some study of the subject of witchcraft but will also intrigue the educated non-specialist. Closely reasoned, it is also written with a rare wit, which makes it difficult to put down.

The most enduring challenge to traditional monotheism is the problem of evil, which attempts to reconcile three incompatible propositions: God is all-good, God is all-powerful, and evil happens. The Prince of This World traces the story of one of the most influential attempts to square this circle: the offloading of responsibility for evil onto one of God's rebellious creatures. In this striking reexamination, the devil's story is bitterly ironic, full of tragic reversals. He emerges as a theological symbol who helps oppressed communities cope with the trauma of unjust persecution, torture, and death at the hands of political authorities and eventually becomes a vehicle to justify oppression at the hands of Christian rulers. And he evolves alongside the biblical God, who at first presents himself as the liberator of the oppressed but ends up a cruel ruler who delights in the infliction of suffering on his friends and enemies alike. In other words, this is the story of how God becomes the devil—a devil who remains with us in our ostensibly secular age.

La Revolución de 1952 elevó al máximo dirigente sindical minero al rango de ministro de Estado. Pero el cambio semántico de "mineros" a "ministros" evoca también la subordinación de los mineros a la deidad diabólica del subsuelo, que los convierte en verdaderos ministros del diablo. Para ellos, la extracción minera es una actividad ritualizada, auténtica peregrinación y recorrido iniciático que fusiona el cristianismo sincrético de los Andes con antiguas prácticas chamánicas: poseído por la deidad diabólica de las vetas, el propio minero se vuelve diablo y se une sexualmente a la mina para producir mineral. Este libro, resultado de una larga investigación de campo en las míticas minas de plata de Potosí, explora el sentido del trabajo extractivo para los mineros e indaga las articulaciones entre el universo religioso y otros parámetros de la experiencia minera (relaciones de trabajo, cambios tecnológicos, configuraciones identitarias y de género, así como las movilizaciones políticas) en un contexto en el que los poderes del diablo obrero dialogan en contrapunto con el mercado internacional de los metales.

Le « retour de Satan », observable aujourd'hui en des manifestations fort diverses, pourrait bien renvoyer à la redécouverte, bruyante ou quotidienne, à la suite d'évènements terrifiants ou d'une déréliction sans remède au plan de l'histoire d'un « abîme noir » en l'humain. Redécouverte qui se laisse appréhender comme un double brouillage d'identité : l'image de Dieu oscille entre un versant positif et un versant négatif et l'humain s'en trouve comme traversé d'une fêlure, voire dédoublé. Si la foi toute chrétienne tient, tout entière, à la reconnaissance d'un salut gratuitement donné dans l'Événement christique insondable comme tel, comment fait-elle droit à la dimension d'épreuve, de combat, mais aussi à l'impératif de solidarité sans lesquelles la réalité et l'annonce du salut seraient privées de signification et de résonance ? Tels sont la question et l'enjeu de la session théologique, tenue aux F.U.SL. en 1991. Le parcours proposé comporte deux étapes : des mises en situation historiques - restitution de synthèses doctrinales et de glissements historiographiques - et anthropologiques font écho et interrogent des apports exégétiques, éthiques et théologiques visant à préciser ce qui nous est suggéré, à travers les figures du démoniaque, de ce qu'il peut advenir de la liberté humaine lorsqu'elle se retourne vers « Celui qui a, par la Croix, vaincu le Prince de Monde ».

Commander Leighton is a psychiatrist and anthropologist who was assigned to go to the Japanese Relocation Center at Poston, Arizona, and "apply the methods of social science" to that community-find out in terms of human relationships what was working well and why, what was going wrong and why, and attempt to draw general principles from that experience. He fulfilled his mission brilliantly, and his manuscript account was immediately hailed by those who read it as one of the most thoughtful and truly literate government reports ever written. Under the sponsorship of the American Council, Institute of Pacific Relations, Commander Leighton has prepared this fascinating book from the material which went into his report. The first part, illustrated with striking photographs, is a dramatic yet genuinely "clinical" account of the strike at Poston and the attitudes tensions and frustrations of both administrators and administered. It inquires deeply into the motivations and reactions of the people who made up the Poston community. In the next section, general principles and recommendations are presented- and this material is drawn from other sources as well as Poston.The book thus appeals to a wide variety of readers: Army and Navy officers facing problems of civil administration, citizens interested in minority groups and race relations in the U.S., students of public opinion and of industrial relations in government, industry, and labor, sociologists, psychiatrists. Moreover, it is written with such skill, and is so rich in dramatic illustration of how man's mind works, that it is also unreservedly recommended to the general reader, whether or not he has any active concern either with Japanese-American problems or with "the governing of men."Originally published in 1945.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
