About the author

Matthew L. Hewat

A medical doctor writing in the early 1900s, this author left behind a rare record of Bantu traditional medicine and folklore in southern Africa. His best-known book opens a window onto healing practices, beliefs, and everyday culture as they were documented in 1906.
