Description

Product Description Raising the Dust explores the relationship between human and ecological health through the lens of African traditional medicine, as practiced in the south of Malawi. The book employs an ethnographic methodology using the primary methods of semi-structured interviews and participant observation. The fieldwork for the research was conducted in the Mulanje Mountain Biosphere and the findings are presented as a narrative exploration of insider and outsider positions, in this context. The conceptual framework for the book encompasses a broad range of ecological ideas, focussing mainly on traditional ecological knowledge and radical ecology. The holistic theoretical framework for the book emerges in a grounded way from out of the fieldwork experience. The book is written in plain language and will appeal to anyone interested in holistic health outlooks, particularly cross-cultural health and wellbeing narratives. Review “Jones presents a refreshing ethnographic “tracking” of traditional medicine and healing practices in southern Africa. Raising the Dust is a must read, the book is intellectually engaging and methodologically rigorous.” (Barbara Ntombi Ngwenya, Professor of Applied Anthropology, Okavango Research Institute, University of Botswana, Botswana) From the Back Cover Raising the Dust explores the relationship between human and ecological health through the lens of African traditional medicine, as practiced in the south of Malawi.

She is motivated by the need to address health as a social justice issue and as an ecological imperative.
