The Legacy Of The Witch Hunter (eBook)

The legacy of witch hunting refers to the lasting impact of the historical practice of accusing, prosecuting, and executing people on the basis of suspicion of witchcraft. This legacy includes the continued stigmatization of certain groups, the perpetuation of harmful gender stereotypes, and the undermining of justice and human rights. Despite the fact that witch hunting has largely been discredited and abandoned in modern societies, its legacy continues to impact contemporary social, cultural, and political contexts.
