The Magic of the State by Michael Taussig, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Set in the enchanted mountain of a spirit-queen presiding over an unnamed, postcolonial country, this ethnographic work of ficto-criticism recreates in written form the shrines by which the dead-notably the fetishized forms of Europe's Others, Indians and Blacks-generate the magical powers of the modern state. | The Magic of the State by Michael Taussig, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
