Far from being the province of magic, witchcraft, and sorcery,
indigenous understanding of contagious disease in Africa and
elsewhere in the developing world very often parallels western
concepts of germ theory, according to the author. Labeling this
'indigenous contagion theory (ICT), ' Green synthesizes the
voluminous ethnographic work on tropical diseases and remedies_as
well as 20 years of his own studies and interventions on sexually
transmitted diseases, AIDS, and traditional healers in southern
Africa_to demonstrate how indigenous peoples generally conceive of
contagious diseases as having naturalistic causes. His
groundbreaking work suggests how western medical practitioners can
incorporate ICT to better help native peoples control contagious
diseases
