500    Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 24 
       Apr 2018). 
520    This ethnography explores the Ngoma healing tradition as 
       practiced in eastern Mpumalanga, South Africa. ‘Bungoma’ 
       is an active philosophical system and healing practice 
       consisting of multiple strands, based on the notion that 
       humans are intrinsically exposed to each other and that 
       this is the cause of illness, but also the condition for 
       the possibility of healing. 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.
