    The Magic of Witchcraft

    de Koen Stroeken ...
    Series Libro 9 - Epistemologies of Healing

A universal process is involved, as much bodily as social, which obstructs the patient’s recovery. Healers turn the table on the witch through rituals showing that the community and the ancestral spirits side with the victim. In contrast to ... Leer más

  • The Language Loss of the Indigenous

    Edición de G. N. Devy, Geoffrey V. Davis, K. K. Chakravarty ...

It establishes that the aphasia imposed on the indigenous is but a visible symptom of a deeper malaise — the mismatch between the symbiotic relation nurtured by the indigenous with their environment and the idea of development put before them as their future. The essays here show how the cultures ... Leer más

    Making An African Sense Of Western Gender Discourses

    de Oyeronke Oyewumi ...
