Author: Heidi Holland Publisher: Penguin (2011) ISBN-10: 0143527355 ISBN-13: 9780143527350 Condition: Very Good Binding: Softcover Pages: 238 Dimensions: 19.7 x 12.6 x 1.8 cm +++ by Heidi Holland +++ Africa's traditional beliefs - including ancestor worship, divination and witchcraft - continue to dominate its spiritual influences. Readers in search of a better understanding of the continent will be enriched by this book's timely exploration of sub-Saharan Africa's natural philosophy. The author's meticulous research reveals that, whereas technology-driven Western societies prefer to rely largely on logical explanations, many Africans continue to obey their intuition - trusting in images, dreams and divination to rationalise misfortune and illness. African magic explains why so many Africans understand the relationship between people and unfortunate events not through the Western concept of chance in the case of accidents, or germ theory in the case of illness, but through belief in witchcraft.
