商品簡介
Author Susan Lepselter, a cultural anthropologist, integrates an ethnographic perspective in this exploration of UFO believers and people who have had alien abduction experiences and other uncanny memories and hauntings. Much of the book is drawn from conversations and interviews with real people around the country, many of them attendees and organizers of UFO conferences, as well as academic and popular sources. Lepselter offers a cultural interpretation of obsession with the paranormal, conspiracy theories, and alien captivity, and relates these themes to people's experiences of poverty and downward social mobility.
