It is here that Ansha, a Makonde spirit healer, heals the resisting ailments of her patients, discloses pieces of her story of affliction and healing, and engages the world outside her mosque. We come to know Ansha's experiences as revolutionary and migrant, her religious trajectories, family, the healers who cured her, the spirits who possessed her, and her declining health. We follow Ansha's shifts in her life and work in the mosque as these intersect with the visible and invisible borders of Mozambique and of its fraught history. Confronting events in her life and in the mosque during between 2009 and 2016, Ansha invites us to make meaning with her, as we sit in her mosque, and engage with her family, spirits, friends, patients, and world"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Healers $z Mozambique. 650 0 $a Traditional medicine $z Mozambique. 651 0 $a Mozambique $x Social life and customs. 650 7 $a Healers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00952697 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 650 7 $a Traditional medicine. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01153974 651 7 $a Mozambique. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01214418 830 0 $a Medical anthropology (New Brunswick, N.J.) 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020424.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1C979702803411ED944134D030ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
