This account of the ancient healing dances practiced by the Kung people of southern Africa’s Kalahari Desert includes vivid eyewitness descriptions of night-long healing dances and interviews with Kung healers.
Praise
-
At a time when many voices rightly urge us to move toward a more holistic approach to medicine, healing and society itself, it is fascinating and valuable to read this thoughtful, eyewitness account of a culture which has always been holistic. This is a book not just for anthropologists or psychologists, but for a much wider readership. It is vivid and colorful.
-
A brilliant sociological analysis of how the form and function of ritual healing are shaped by the Kung social structure.
-
Anyone interested in the transpersonal dimensions of healing will quickly recognize the importance of this book. Richard Katz has produced a compelling narrative of his three-month stay among a nomadic tribe of the Kalahari desert.
Author
- Richard Katz is Professor Emeritus at the First Nations University of Canada and an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Saskatchewan.
