Drawing on insights from a variety of disciplines - history, historical linguistics, archaeology, and anthropology - Neil Kodesh argues that the domains of politics and public healing were intimately entwined In Buganda from the sixteenth through the early nineteenth centuries. Drawing on extensive fieldwork conducted throughout Buganda, Kodesh demonstrates how efforts to ensure collective prosperity and perpetuity - usually expressed in the language of health and healing - lay at the heart of community-building processes In Buganda. Kodesh's work offers a novel approach to the use of oral sources and opens up new possibilities for researching and writing histories of more distant periods in Africa's past. Beyond the Royal Gaze will appeal to students and scholars of health and healing, political complexity, and the production of knowledge in places where limited documentary evidence exists."--Jacket. 517 3 $aClanship and public healing in Buganda 606 $aClans 606 $aHealing 606 $aGanda (African people) 606 $aHistorical linguistics 606 $aEthnology$zUganda 607 $aBuganda 615 0$aClans. 615 0$aHealing. 615 0$aGanda (African people). 615 0$aHistorical linguistics. 615 0$aEthnology 676 $a967.61/01 700 $aKodesh$b Neil$f1974-$01683109 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808349503321 996 $aBeyond the royal gaze$94053682 997 $aUNINA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
