As newer medical problems surface and existing ones appear to resist modern solutions, Africans are increasingly reaching for traditional healing practices and customary protective medicines. Using historical and phenomenological approaches, Traditional Medicine Making of the «Emu»: Continuity and Change investigates religious belief and herbal practices of Emu people. This documentation of medical practices of the Emu people of Nigeria in the context of change transcends the structuralist and functional perspective employed by anthropologists.
Kingsley Ifeanyi Owete is senior lecturer and former Head of the Department of Religion and Cultural Studies at the University of Port Harcourt (Nigeria). He has a special interest in African Traditional Medicine.
