{"product_id":"folk-wisdom-and-mother-wit-arvilla-payne-jackson-9780313288685","title":"Folk Wisdom and Mother Wit: John Lee--An African American Herbal Healer","description":"This book combines historical biography with a focus on the role of the practitioner in the folk health-care system, and ethnobotany, including a description of the active ingredients of the herbs used in African American herbal medicine. The contributions of European Colonial, American Indian, and African practices to the development of contemporary African American folk medicine are discussed. In addition to showing John Lee's approach to folk medicine, the volume provides descriptions and illustrations of the main herbs used. Folk Wisdom and Mother Wit provides a basic historical framework and background to the continuing viability of a folk medical system based on a pluralism combining biomedicine and traditional health care. As such, it will be of value to scholars and students of medical anthropology as well as Black Studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arvilla Payne-Jackson, John Lee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313288682\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313288685\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.54h x 5.98w x 0.76d","brand":"Arvilla Payne-Jackson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43988120174847,"sku":"9780313288685","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_16229f8b-cdaa-4b4e-9021-ced846c7a2b3.jpg?v=1683292736","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/folk-wisdom-and-mother-wit-arvilla-payne-jackson-9780313288685","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
