Tituba, Reluctant Witch of Salem: Devilish Indians and Puritan Fantasies
First time I've read this theory: Tituba named others *purposefully* as an act of resistance against The Man.
Usually it's "she did it in self-defense" or "she didn't know what she was doing". This portrays it more in the vein of a captured Allied pilot giving disinformation to the Nazis in order to bring them down.
The author does a marvelous job uncovering Tituba's PRE-Salem history. If you didn't already know that Tituba was an INDIAN slave - not African - you *must* read this book.
And if you're at all interested in the Salem witch trials, this book adds a layer of knowledge which will make your research even more delicious.
Hmmm... Never write book reviews before lunch....
