Anthropologists have expressed wariness about the concept of evil
even in discussions of morality and ethics, in part because the
concept carries its own cultural baggage and theological
implications in Euro-American societies. Addressing the problem of
evil as a distinctly human phenomenon and a category of
ethnographic analysis, this volume shows the usefulness of engaging
evil as a descriptor of empirical reality where concepts such as
violence, criminality, and hatred fall short of capturing the
darkest side of human existence.

In most places on the African continent, multiple health care
options exist and patients draw on a therapeutic continuum that
ranges from traditional medicine and religious healing to the
latest in biomedical technology. The ethnographically based essays
in this volume highlight African ways of perceiving sickness,
making sense of and treating suffering, and thinking about health
care to reveal the range and practice of everyday medicine in
Africa through historical, political, and economic contexts.

William C. Olsen, Walter E. A. van Beek, and the contributors to
this volume seek to understand how Africans have confronted evil
around them. Grouped around notions of evil as a cognitive or
experiential problem, evil as malevolent process, and evil as an
inversion of justice, these essays investigate what can be accepted
and what must be condemned in order to evaluate being and morality
in African cultural and social contexts. These studies of evil
entanglements take local and national histories and identities into
account, including state politics and civil war, religious
practices, Islam, gender, and modernity.
