Kuru Sorcery

Disease and Danger in the New Guinea Highlands

By: Shirley Lindenbaum

Perhaps the best-documented epidemic in the history of medicine, kuru has been studied for more than fifty years by international investigators from medicine and the human sciences. This significantly revised edition of the landmark anthropological classic Kuru Sorcery brings up to date the anthropological contribution to understanding disease, the medical research that resulted in two medical Nobel Prizes, and the views of the Fore people who endured the epidemic and who still believe that sorcerers, rather than cannibalism, caused kuru. The kuru epidemic serves as a prism through which to see how Fore notions of disease causation bring into single focus their views about the body, the world of social and spiritual relations, and changes in economic and political conditions-aspects of thought and behaviour that Western medicine keeps separate.

Selected Works of Shirley Burke Oaks Vol.1

By: Shirley Burke Oaks

The short stories captured on these pages are snippets of a well-lived life. I gathered information like a thief through the years and then one lovely and sunny day, I put pen to paper, filled my mouth with ink and spat it all on paper. What fun I had with these, my precious little stories. I have a Blue Million more to write.
