Based on fieldwork conducted between 2001-2008 in urban East
Africa, this book explores who the patients, practitioners and
paraprofessionals doing Chinese medicine were in this early period
of renewed China-Africa relations. Rather than taking recourse to
the 'placebo effect', the author explains through the spatialities
and materialities of the medical procedures provided why - apart
from purchasing the Chinese antimalarial called Artemisinin -
locals would try out their 'alternatively modern' formulas for
treating a wide range of post-colonial disorders and seek their
sexual enhancement medicines.
