{"product_id":"the-women-who-threw-corn-martin-austin-nesvig-9781009550529","title":"The Women Who Threw Corn: Witchcraft and Inquisition in Sixteenth-Century Mexico","description":"This book tells the stories of women from Spain, North Africa, Senegambia, and Canaries accused of sorcery in sixteenth-century Mexico for adapting native magic and healing practices. These non-native women - the mulata of Seville who cured the evil eye; the Canarian daughter of a Count who ate peyote and mixed her bath water into a man's mustard supply; the wife of a Spanish conquistador who let her hair loose and chanted to a Mesoamerican god while sweeping at midnight; the wealthy Basque woman with a tattoo of a red devil; and many others - routinely adapted Native ritual into hybrid magic and cosmology. Through a radical rethinking of colonial knowledge, Martin Austin Nesvig uncovers a world previously left in the shadows of historical writing, revealing a fascinating and vibrant multi-ethnic community of witches, midwives, and healers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Austin Nesvig\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1009550527\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781009550529\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/26\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 5.91w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2025","brand":"Martin Austin Nesvig","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48174818001151,"sku":"9781009550529","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_70f0dbc2-e64c-44bd-a12e-e02ed31912a7.jpg?v=1771330735","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-women-who-threw-corn-martin-austin-nesvig-9781009550529","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
