Healing Knowledge in Atlantic Africa - Global Health Histories
Kananoja, Kalle (University of Oulu, Finland)
In this ambitious analysis of medical encounters in West Africa during the Atlantic slave trade, Kananoja considers both African and European perceptions of health, disease and healing. Arguing that the period was characterised by continuous knowledge exchange, he shows that indigenous natural medicine was used by locals and non-Africans alike.
