Abstract
- The article looks at witchcraft beliefs and accusations among Pentecostals in Africa and the African diaspora. Particular focus is given to accusations against women and children. According to the author, political authorities and social service organizations often ignore the abuse of accused witches or hesitate to interfere lest they be accused of racial or religious discrimination. It is suggested that faith groups must play a role in challenging such practices.
