Living in Two Worlds - Communication Between a White Healer and Her Black Counterparts (Hardcover)

Some white South Africans have grown up with the sound of African singing accompanied by drumming in their ears at night. It stirred feelings of fear, of mystery and fascination, but also of avoidance - "Leave it alone, it is not for us," they were told by their elders. And so they knew nothing about the aim, purpose and use of singing, dancing and drumming in the life of the native African - it was brushed aside as mere "beer parties". The white South African knew and understood even less about these as methods of healing and bringing comfort to body and mind. Yet for many the fascination remained, as did the mystery.
