From the rear cover
For thousands of years the fundamental belief in superstition, witchcraft and tribal religion has determined the way in which illness, and its effects, are regarded within native Africa. This study consists of three parts: the first, a medical anthropological exploration of traditional explanations of illness and misfortune; the second, a detailed ethnography of traditional African cosmology and witchcraft, which form the broader context of illness explanations; and thirdly, a reflexive examination of the production of meaning in the process of ethnographic fieldwork and an examination of the possibilities for a dialogical or postmodern anthropology.
