This healing seeks to protect the ‘exposed being’ from harm through augmenting the self. Unlike Western medicine, it does not seek to cure physical ailments but aims to prevent suffering by allowing patients to transform their personal narratives of Self. Like Western medicine, it is empirical and is presented as a ‘local knowledge’ that amounts to a practical anthropology of human conflict and the environment. The book seeks to bring this anthropology and its therapeutic applications into relation with global academic anthropology by explaining it through political, economic, interpretive, and environmental lenses. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Rites and ceremonies|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85114211|zSouth Africa|zMpumalanga.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no96017557-781 650 0 Healing|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85059506|zSouth Africa|zMpumalanga.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/no96017557-781 650 0 Traditional medicine|zSouth Africa|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85083172|zMpumalanga.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no96017557-781 650 7 Rites and ceremonies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1098216 650 7 Healing.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/952704 650 7 Traditional medicine.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1153974 651 7 South Africa|zMpumalanga.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1275640 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|z9781776140183 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1885336|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
