Cat Island, South Carolina, was once the location of slave trade activities, including capture of Native Americans for export and the rise of plantations in the Lowcountry for indigo and rice production, from the sixteenth to mid-nineteenth centuries. This Element examines the Hume Plantation Slave Street Project led by the author, and archaeological evidence for hoodoo magic and ritual practices involving "white magic" spells used for protection and treatments for illness and injury, and, alternately, for 'black magic,' in spells used to exact harm or to kill. This Element is intended as a contribution to the collective knowledge about hoodoo magic practices in the Lowcountry, centered on the Hume Plantation grounds during this period of American history. It is an attempt to examine how attitudes and practices may have changed over time and concludes with a look at select contemporary hoodoo activities conducted in local cemeteries.

Murder, Mayhem, and Madness: A Psychological Anthropology Perspective on Forensic and Criminal Investigation highlights the influence of culture and historical context on criminal behaviors, forensic science, and crime scene investigation.This textbook is interdisciplinary and examines the shared foundations between psychology and anthropology with narratives from Dr. Moses and articles by other scholars in their respective fields. Topics include historical attitudes toward violence in literature and imagery, the celebration of public torture and execution until the early-20th century, changing attitudes about human remains, and the conundrum of nature versus nurture in cases where children commit violent homicides. Readers learn about various techniques for locating and identifying offenders and human remains, how the presence or absence of interpersonal relationships are factors and how popular culture, identity, and gender influences public perceptions of violence and power.Created to reveal the complexity of human nature involved in the development of forensic and criminal investigation, Murder, Mayhem, and Madness is an ideal resource for courses and programs in psychological anthropology, criminal justice, criminology, and forensic sciences.
