  • Moral Power

    The Magic of Witchcraft

    par Koen Stroeken ...
    Collections Livre 9 - Epistemologies of Healing
    Neither power nor morality but both. Moral power is what Sukuma farmers in Tanzania in times of crisis attribute to an unknown figure they call their witch.

Healers turn the table on the witch through rituals showing that the community and the ancestral spirits side with the victim. In contrast to ... En savoir plus

    Modifié par Koen Stroeken ...

  • The Language Loss of the Indigenous

    Modifié par 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 ... En savoir plus

    Making An African Sense Of Western Gender Discourses

    par Oyeronke Oyewumi ...
    The “woman question,” this book asserts, is a Western one, and not a proper lens for viewing African society.

Author Oyeronke Oyewumi reveals an ideology of biological determinism at the heart of Western social categories-the idea that biology provides ... En savoir plus
