Navaho witchcraft

by Clyde Kluckhohn

In Navaho Witchcraft, perhaps one of his finest works, Kluckhohn combines psychoanalytic, learning, and social structure theory in describing the customs of Navajo Indians. His description and analysis of Navaho ideas and actions related to witchcraft illuminate the ways in which society deals with the ambition for power, the aggressiveness, and the anxiety of its members.
