Breslaw argues that Titubas confession to practicing witchcraft clearly reveals her savvy and determined efforts to protect herself by actively manipulating Puritan fears. This confession, perceived as evidence of a diabolical conspiracy, was the central agent in the cataclysmic series of events that saw nineteen people executed and over 150 imprisoned, including a young girl of five.A landmark contribution to womens history and early American history, Tituba, Reluctant Witch of Salem sheds new light on one of the most painful episodes in American history, through the eyes of its most crucial participan...3404650Tituba, Reluctant Witch of Salem275382https://www.gandhi.com.mx/tituba--reluctant-witch-of-salem-9780814786215/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2415982/4f06d0d3-f193-402e-92c2-c7ccaad652b6.jpg?v=638631927649870000InStockMXN99999DIEbook19959780814786215_W3siaWQiOiI5MWJmYjk5OS1kNzBjLTQ0N2UtOTcyYS05NjIxMmFiOTA1YTIiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjM4MiwiZGlzY291bnQiOjEwNywic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjoyNzUsImluY2x1ZGVzVGF4Ijp0cnVlLCJwcmljZVR5cGUiOiJXaG9sZXNhbGUiLCJjdXJyZW5jeSI6Ik1YTiIsImZyb20iOiIyMDI0LTA2LTI4VDIyOjAwOjAwWiIsInJlZ2lvbiI6Ik1YIiwiaXNQcmVvcmRlciI6ZmFsc2V9XQ==9780814786215_A landmark contribution to womens history that sheds new light on the Salem witch trials and one of its most crucial participants, Tituba of The CrucibleIn this important book, Elaine Breslaw claims to have rediscovered Tituba, the elusive, mysterious, and often mythologized Indian woman accused of witchcraft in Salem in 1692 and immortalized in Arthur Millers The Crucible.Reconstructing the life of the slave woman at the center of the notorious Salem witch trials, the book follows Tituba from her likely origins in South America to Barbados, forcefully dispelling the commonly-held belief that Tituba was African.
