Moral Power by Koen Stroeken
Neither power nor morality but both. Moral power is what the Sukuma from Tanzania in times of crisis attribute to an unknown figure they call their witch. A universal process is involved, as much bodily as social, which obstructs the patient's recovery. This book shows how to comprehend culture other than through the prism of identity and politics.-
