A widespread form of ritual healing in Central and Southern Africa, ngoma is fully investigated here for the first time and interpreted in a contemporary context. John Janzen's daring study incorporates drumming and spirit possession into a broader, institutional profile that emphasizes the varieties of knowledge and social forms and also the common elements of "doing ngoma. "Drawing on his recent field research in Kinshasa, Dar-es-Salaam, Mbabane, and Capetown, Janzen reveals how ngoma transcends national and social boundaries. Spoken and sung discourses about affliction, extended counseling, reorientation of the self or household, and the creation of networks that link the afflicted, their kin, and their healers are all central to ngoma-and familiar to Western self-help institutions as well. Students of African healing and also those interested in the comparative and historical study of medicine, religion, and music will find Ngoma a valuable and thought-provoking book. 410 0$aComparative studies of health systems and medical care ;$vvolume 34. 606 $aRites and ceremonies$xAfrica, Central 606 $aRites and ceremonies$xAfrica, Southern 606 $aHealing$zAfrica, Central 606 $aHealing$zAfrica, Southern 606 $aTraditional medicine$zAfrica, Central 606 $aTraditional medicine$zAfrica, Southern 610 $aafrica. 610 $aafrican studies. 610 $aanthropology. 610 $abantu. 610 $abone throwing. 610 $acapetown. 610 $acentral africa. 610 $adance. 610 $adar es salaam. 610 $adisease. 610 $adivination. 610 $adrum. 610 $aethnography. 610 $afolk belief. 610 $afolk medicine. 610 $afolklore. 610 $ahealers. 610 $ahealing cults. 610 $ahealing. 610 $aillness. 610 $akinshasa. 610 $akinship. 610 $ambabane. 610 $amedicine. 610 $amusic. 610 $angoma. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $aperformance. 610 $aperforming arts. 610 $apossession. 610 $areligion. 610 $arite. 610 $aritual healing. 610 $asocial science. 610 $asociology. 610 $asong. 610 $asouth africa. 610 $asouthern africa. 610 $aspirits. 610 $atradition. 615 0$aRites and ceremonies$xAfrica, Central. 615 0$aRites and ceremonies$xAfrica, Southern. 615 0$aHealing 615 0$aHealing 615 0$aTraditional medicine 615 0$aTraditional medicine 676 $a398/.353 700 $aJanzen$b John M.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01233242 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910495866703321 996 $aNgoma$92863786 997 $aUNINA
