Review
... rich ethnography and provocative intellectual engagement. - Michael Humphrey in ASAAP The book as a whole shows anthropology in transition, struggling with its own past and its future, as the authors discover new aspects to healing and reach for parallels elsewhere. In a concluding review, Janzen comments on the rich and varied ethnography these essays offer, traces his own scholarly quest from his studies of healing in Lower Congo to Ngoma, and notes that Ngoma is becoming a worldwide phenomenon. - Wyatt Macgaffey in BULLETIN of SOAS
