Shamanism, Colonialism, and the Wild Man: A Study in Terror and Healing
Abstract
Working with the image of the Indian shaman as Wild Man, reveals not the magic of the shaman but that of the politicizing fictions creating the effect of the real. This extraordinary book . . . will encourage ever more critical and creative explorations. Fernando Coronil, [I]American Journal of Sociology[/I] Taussig has brought a formidable collection of data from arcane literary, journalistic, and biographical sources to bear on . . . questions of evil, torture, and politically institutionalized hatred and terror. His intent is laudable, and much of the book is brilliant, both in its discovery of how particular people perpetrated evil and others interpreted it. Stehen G. Bunker, Social Science Quarterly

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
