Author lived in Soweto for a total of 36 months.
Examines how people in Soweto and elsewhere manage

He develops a framework for understanding occult
violence as a form of spiritual insecurity and
documents new patterns of interpretation for

suggests how these matters pose severe long-term

Discusses Western biomedical discourse about
illness in Africa. Draws on diverse sources such as
court records and medical journals, fund-raising
posters and 'jungle-doctor' cartoons. Most sources
are from British dependencies in East & Central
Africa between 1890 and 1950. Traces the shifts and
variation in medical discourse on African illness.
For instance: Missionary medicine emphasizing 'sin &
disease'; leprosy and the social role of 'the leper';
and the struggle to define insanity in the context of
ignorance about what the 'normal' African was like
amidst a determination to crush indigenous beliefs.
Africans were deemed made sick not by material
changes to their lives, but rather by their cultural
'maladaptation' to modern life leading to
'scientific' discourse about their biological
inferiority.

Author overturns one of the central concepts of
anthropological theory - the idea of remote
hunter-gatherer societies untouched by contemporary
political and economic forces. Using the San people
of Southern Africa (the so-called Bushmen) generally
cited as the prime example of a pristine prehistoric
society, he gives evidence from many disciplines to
show that the San always had ties to other peoples
and that their current status as subsistence foragers
is a recent development which began in pre-colonial
times and has continued thereafter.

A case study of development in Lesotho during the

specific ideas about development are generated and

ideas on the outcome of projects. Failed development
projects worldwide produce the expansion of
bureaucratic power and the translation of political
realities into 'technical problems' awaiting solution
by development agencies and experts.

Lesotho, once 'the granary of the Free State and

impoverished labour reserve. Mass labour migration
destroyed family life in Lesotho as well as in
Botswana, Swaziland, and the bantustans within South
Africa. Why did the migrant labour system not end
with political independence in these countries?
Author examines this fundamental question in his
historical study of Lesotho.
