The time of wild ghosts. Memory, violence and place in southwestern China. Muggler E.

The book of Eric Muggler talks about how a small community in the mountains of South-West China is trying to find its place on the outskirts of the national state. Local residents describe a period that lasted from the great hunger of the 1958-1960s until the 1990s, as the “time of wild ghosts”. The memory of the local community lost in the era, attempts to find the origins of violence and achieve justice find the embodiment in frightening stories about ghosts that come to the living.
