The Time of the Cannibals

On Conspiracy Theory and Context

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Time of the Cannibals rethinks conspiracy theory as an analytic category through a case study set in Cyprus, and proposes a particular kind of cross-contextual comparison as a way out of persistent ethnocentrism in scholarship and media coverage of conspiracy theory.
