Traditional African Bonesetters and Western Medical Practitioners

Traditional African Bonesetters and Western Medical PractitionersThis unique interdisciplinary study of biosocial medicine examines how traditional African bonesetter practices inexorably, and relentlessly, clash with Western care protocols.
