Book Description -------➤
African-American Slave Medicine offers a critical examination of how African-American slaves medical needs were addressed during the years before and surrounding the Civil War. Drawing upon ex-slave interviews conducted during the 1930s and 1940s by the Works Project Administration (WPA), Dr. Herbert C. Covey inventories many of the herbal, plant, and non-plant remedies used by African-American folk practitioners during slavery. He demonstrates how active the slaves were in their own medical care and the important role faith played in the healing process. This book links each referenced plant or herb to modern scientific evidence to determine its actual worth and effects on the patients. Through his study, Dr. Covey unravels many of the complex social relationships found between the African-American slaves, Whites, folk practitioners, and patients. African-American Slave Medicine is a compelling and captivating read that will appeal to scholars of African-American history and those interested in folk medicine.

Renowned philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche believes that a human won't know who they are simply by introspection one must have a "historical sense". Marcus Garvey echoed Nietzsche's sentiments in his famous quote "A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots." We firmly believe that knowledge of the past is the key to unlock the limitless possibilities of the present day.
