Book Description
The Nellore Yanadis are dark-skinned aboriginal people, short in stature, of unknown origin. They are renowned for their mysterious knowledge of the occult properties of nature. They plant round their huts certain herbs believed to ward off venomous reptiles. A decoction from more than a hundred different roots is said to possess incalculable virtues for curing any malady. The Yanadi seer grows his hair and lets no razor pass his head. Yanadis can smell out their game, and trace out trespassers by merely looking at their footmarks.

Book Description
Tribal India has been called the land of quiet repose, content to remain anchored to the hoary past and proud of her immobility. Yet this same Tribal India is now throbbing with discontent, and is breathing, in all departments of her life, a deep spirit of unrest. The book has a number of distinctive features, it will fit into most courses that focus on tribals. Major theoretical frameworks are identified and the standard major topics are covered.

Book Description
Introducing materiality into the study of the history of medicine, this volume hones in on communities across the Indian Ocean World and explores how they understood and engaged with health and medical commodities. Opening up spatial dimensions and challenging existing approaches to knowledge, power and the market, it defines 'therapeutic commodity' and explores how different materials were understood and engaged with in various settings and for a number of purposes. Offering new spatial realms within which the circulation of commodities created new regimes of meaning, Histories of Health and Materiality in the Indian Ocean World demonstrates how medicinal substances have had immediate and far-reaching economic and political consequences in various capacities. From midwifery and umbilical cords, to the social spaces of soap, perfumes in early modern India and remedies for leprosy, this volume considers a vast range of material culture in medicinal settings to better understand the history of medicine and its role in global connections since the early 17th century.
