A fabulous collection of essays on African tribal methods of curing diseases in poor communities! As scholars seek answers about why others indulge in sorcery and pagan rituals, we gain understanding about the hidden humanity behind these rituals that reveal the same instinctual desires that all humans share. Before one can judge something, one must know the essence of something.
