In this book, Rebekah Lee offers a critical introduction to the diverse history of health, healing and illness in sub-Saharan Africa from the 1800s to the present day. This book guides the reader through a wide range of historical source material, and highlights the theoretical and methodological innovations which have enriched this scholarship.Part One delivers a concise historical overview of African health and illness from the long 'pre-colonial' past through the colonial period and into Its focus is not simply on disease but rather on how illness and health were understood and managed: by healthcare providers, African patients, their families and communities.Through a sustained interdisciplinary approach, Lee brings to the foreground a cast of actors, institutions and ideas that both profoundly and intimately shaped African health experiences and outcomes.
