Medical Anthropology Past, Present, and Future
When we accepted our roles as editors of this journal back in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic had only recently taken the world by storm.One of our challenges was to think about how a journal such as Medical Anthropology could best respond to world events, predictable or otherwise, as they unfolded through the painstaking ethnography that is our discipline's hallmark.Policymakers, after all, need the insights that will help them formulate possible so…

The Modern Traditional Healer
This article explores how ‘modern traditional’ healers, working in Kyela District in the south west of Tanzania, attempt to challenge and transcend a widely-recognised dualism that places forms of biomedicine as ‘modern’ and all varieties of indigenous healing as ‘traditional’. Drawing on the notion of ‘intentional hybridity’, the article analyses conversations with healers, which reveal how their practices and aspirations operate to destabilise …

This article explores these meanings throug…
