Colonizers, Scholars, and the Creation of Invisible Histories
Evidence, Ethos and Experiment
Medical research has been central to biomedicine in Africa for over a century, and Africa, along with other tropical areas, has been crucial to the development of medical science. At present, study populations in Africa participate in an increasing number of medical research projects and clinical trials, run by both public institutions and private companies. Global debates about the politics and ethics of this research are growing and local conce…
Writing history
Historical writing in Tanzania has had highly serious goals from the early days of the history department at the University of Dar es Salaam. Historians have aimed at the decolonization of intellectual life, the construction of a national historical identity, and the achievement of a just society. This body of well-contextualized historical writing has circulated widely within the country, but does not reach readers outside east Africa as fully a…

Africa in History
Anthropology, knowledge-flows and global health
Global health programmes are damaged by blockages in the upward flow of information from localities and regional centres about realities of professional practice and about patients' lives and conditions of treatment. Power differentials between local actors and national or international decision-makers present further obstacles to effective action. Anthropological research and action, in its most effective current forms, make important contributi…
The Comaroffs and the Practice of Historical Ethnography
Of Revelation and Revolution , Volume 2, explores how Nonconformists propagated the everyday practices of nineteenth-century British bourgeois society. When the southern Tswana found missionary words irrelevant, the missionaries set about remaking Tswana bodies, dress, and houses. The Comaroffs describe resistance to, and refashioning of, European practices. Their work has been central to the creation of a new and rich historiography of cultural …

Colonizers, Scholars, and the Creation of Invisible Histories
Healing as social criticism in the time of colonial conquest
Histories of resistance to colonial conquest often describe a moment when African political leaders were defeated, but resistance did not end because ‘religious’ leaders took over the fight. This article suggests that the ‘religious’ leaders might, in many cases, be seen instead as healers. The article demonstrates this with reference to a single place — the frontier area to the north of Rwanda where mediums of the Nyabingi spirit led resistance …

The Social Basis of Health and Healing in Africa
Peasant Intellectuals
Scholars who study peasant society now realize that peasants are not passive, but quite capable of acting in their own interests. Debate has continued, though, on whether coherent political ideas emerge within peasant society, or whether peasants act in a world where political issues are defined by elites. Based on ethnographic research begun in 1966 that includes interviews with hundreds of people from all levels of Tanzanian society, Peasant In…

Struggles for Control
This paper is a general interpretation of the social determinants of health and health care in Africa over the past century. The evolution of health cannot be separated from the broader story of social change. The political and economic forces which shaped the continent's history also established the framework within which patterns of diagnosis and treatment, health and disease, emerged. The implication of this is that healers of all kinds—whethe…
