The Empty Seashell: Witchcraft and Doubt on an Indonesian Island

What it is like to live in a world where witches are undeniably real, yet too ephemeral and contradictory to be an object of belief? Nils Bubandt argues that cannibal witches for people in the predominantly Christian community of Buli in the Indonesian province of North Maluku are both corporeally real and fundamentally unknowable.
