Abstract

"The Kenya Coast is populated by Africans, Arab-descendants, Indians and Europeans. As part of the Indian Ocean trading network, the predominantly Muslim Coast is an unusually rich site for investigating the historical interface of distinct medical systems---Islamic, ayurvedic and indigenous---which gave rise to an ever-evolving situation of 'medical plurality'."
