African Science

- Witchcraft, Vodun, and Healing in Southern Benin

About African Science

In this sensitive investigation into Benin's occult world, Douglas Falen wrestles with the challenges of encountering a reality in which magic, science, and the Vodun religion converge into a single universal force. He takes seriously his Beninese interlocutors' insistence that the indigenous phenomenon of aze ("witchcraft") is an African science.
