Pagan Books: Tituba, Reluctant Witch of Salem
by Elaine G. Breslaw
With this important book, Elaine G. Breslaw has "found" Tituba, the elusive,
mysterious, and often mythologized Indian woman accused of witchcraft in Salem in 1692 and
immortalized in Arthur Miller's The Crucible. Reconstructing the life of the slave woman
at the center of the notorious Salem witch trials, the book traces Tituba from her likely
origins in South America to Barbados, forcefully dispelling the commonly held belief that
Tituba was African. The uniquely multicultural nature of life on a seventeenth-century
Barbadan sugar plantation - defined by a mixture of English, American Indian, and African
ways and folklore - indelibly shaped the young Tituba's world and the mental images she
brought with her to Massachusetts. By dividing her biography into two parts, one focusing
on Tituba's roots in Barbados, the other on her life in Massachusetts, Breslaw emphasizes
the inextricably linked worlds of the Caribbean and the North American colonies,
illustrating how the Puritan worldview was influenced by its perception of possessed
Indians. Tituba's confession, Breslaw argues, clearly reveals Tituba's savvy and
determined efforts to protect herself by actively manipulating Puritan fears. This
confession, perceived as evidence of a diabolical conspiracy, was the central agent in the
cataclysmic series of events that saw nineteen people executed and over 150 imprisoned,
including a young girl of five.

Pagan Books: The Trouble with Evil
by Edwin M. Lemert
A broadly based analysis of good and evil grounded in examination of the conceptual,
philosophical, and theoretical bases of the study of evil within the social sciences.
"Edwin Lemert investigates the possibility that a consideration of evil will
provide new power to explanations of deviance. He links classic studies of witchcraft and
sorcery to the wider problem of social control. The search for prototypical evil (a view
that Lemert rejects) turns to an investigation of sorcery because sorcery involves selfish
interest and intentions on the part of the sorcerer, who uses cryptic means to harm a
victim that he/she dislikes.
"The author then examines comparatively the conditions that produce evil actions,
and social reactions to them, in a variety of societies; and he reviews explanations that
previous scholars have offered for the presence and consequences of evil. A tangential
consequence of this method is that the work takes on a strong Melanesian flavor, because
so many of the classic studies of sorcery were conducted in that culture area. Lemert
argues that the fragmented nature of political organization, rapid shifts in political
alliance, and the frequency of competitive rituals involving food. combine in Melanesia to
produce conditions that favor the development of whole cultures that celebrate forms of
animosity and violence.
"Lemert's method provides two significant conclusions: evil is a special kind of
anti-social act that is not subject to ordinary social controls; and sorcery has not been
demonstrated to be a form of 'social control' at all, no matter how common that argument
may be in the literature -- certainly it is not remotely similar to law, as it is known
inmodern urban societies". -- William G. Davis, Professor Emeritus, University of
California-Davis
