Drawing from half a century of fieldwork in Africa, particularly with the WaKonongo of Tanzania, Singleton critiques the academic and colonial contributions to cultural identity theft. The book argues for recognizing cultural differences as a means to unleash liberating energies, rather than conforming to monolithic ideals. A former missionary, Singleton reflects on his transition from philosophy to anthropology, questioning established academic norms and advocating for pluralism in medical and cultural practices. The work is intended for scholars and students of anthropology and cultural studies, exploring the impacts of globalization on cultural identity.$7Generated by AI. 410 0$aCultures et Médecines Series 606 $aAnthropology$7Generated by AI 606 $aCultural awareness$7Generated by AI 615 0$aAnthropology 615 0$aCultural awareness 700 $aSingleton$b Michael$0498249 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910158746403321 996 $aConfessions d'un Anthropologue$93391216 997 $aUNINA
