Stacey A. Langwick investigates the practices of healers in Tanzania who confront the most intractable illnesses in the region, including AIDS and malaria. She reveals how healers generate new therapies and shape the bodies of their patients as they address devils and parasites, anti-witchcraft medicine, and child immunization. Transcending the dualisms between tradition and science, culture and nature, belief and knowledge, Langwick tells a new story about the materiality of healing and postcolonial politics. This important work bridges postcolonial theory, science, public health, and anthropology"--Back cover. 650 0 $a Traditional medicine $z Tanzania. 650 0 $a Medical care $z Tanzania. 650 0 $a Ethnology. 650 12 $a Medicine, African Traditional 650 22 $a Anthropology, Cultural 651 2 $a Tanzania 650 6 $a Ethnologie. 650 7 $a Ethnology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00916106 650 7 $a Medical care. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01013753 650 7 $a Traditional medicine. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01153974 651 7 $a Tanzania. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210143 650 7 $a Folkmedicin $z Tanzania. $2 sao 650 7 $a HaÌlso- och sjukvaÌrd $z Tanzania. $2 sao 650 7 $a Socialantropologi $z Tanzania. $2 sao 650 0 $a Traditional medicine $z Tanzania. 650 0 $a Medical care $z Tanzania. 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724070417.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8F13556E214711EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
