- More about Chinese Medicine in East Africa: An Intimacy with Strangers
This book explores the patients, practitioners, and paraprofessionals of Chinese medicine in East Africa during the early period of renewed China-Africa relations, focusing on the spatialities and materialities of medical procedures and their appeal for treating post-colonial disorders and seeking sexual enhancement medicines.

Publisher: Berghahn Books
Based on fieldwork conducted between 2001-2008 in urban East Africa, this book explores the identities of the patients, practitioners, and paraprofessionals involved in the practice of Chinese medicine during this period of renewed China-Africa relations. Rather than relying on the 'placebo effect,' the author delves into the spatialities and materialities of the medical procedures provided to explain why locals, beyond purchasing the Chinese antimalarial drug Artemisinin, sought out their 'alternatively modern formulas' for treating a wide range of post-colonial disorders and sought sexual enhancement medicines.
