Without Bounds illuminates the life of the mysterious Rabbi Ya'aqov Wazana, a Jewish healer who worked in the Western High Atlas region in southern Morocco and died there in the early 1950s. Impressed by his healing powers and shamanic virtuosity, Moroccan Jews are intrigued by his lifestyle and contacts with the Muslim and the demonic worlds that dangerously blurred his Jewish identity. Based on interviews with Moroccan Jews conducted in the late 1980s, Without Bounds proposes multiple readings of Wazana's life. Yoram Bilu re-creates the influences and important moments in Wazana's life and evaluates his character from psychological and anthropological perspectives. Human- and demon-bound, holy and impure, Jew and Muslim, old and young, Rabbi Ya'aqov Wazana dissolved the boundaries of the major social categories in Morocco and integrated them into his identity.

Katrina Hazzard-Donald explores African Americans' experience and practice of the herbal, healing folk belief tradition known as Hoodoo. Working against conventional scholarship, Hazzard-Donald argues that Hoodoo emerged first in three distinct regions she calls oregional Hoodoo clusters - and that after the turn of the 19th century, Hoodoo took on a national rather than regional profile.

L’abondance des sources qu’offre l’Asie du Sud - à la fois textuelles, historiques et ethnographiques - au croisement et à l’interaction du médical et du religieux, rend difficile l’analyse que ce volume se propose d’accomplir. En fait, la porosité des frontières entre les domaines nous oblige à questionner les outils mêmes de notre enquête. Si l’objectif est de focaliser l’attention sur les recoupements entre soins et cultes, remèdes et rituels, thérapeutes et officiants, le risque encouru est celui de dissoudre et de confondre les deux domaines, en traitant tout acte thérapeutique de religieux, et tout acte religieux de thérapeutique. Ce gommage ferait disparaître la raison d’être de ce volume, qui consiste à étudier les articulations, les jointures, et parfois les frictions, entre le médical et le religieux. Toutefois, une définition des termes « médecine » et « religion » n’entre pas dans le propos de cet ouvrage. La notion abstraite de « religion » est une construction conceptuelle récente, liée à l’émergence des États modernes et à l’expansion européenne, et n’a pas d’équivalent dans la plupart des langues indiennes, de même que le terme « médecine » rend difficilement compte de l’hétérogénéité des savoirs et des pratiques thérapeutiques que l’on rencontre dans le monde indien. Les contributions ici réunies, sans donner une définition univoque des champs du religieux et du médical, accordent une importance majeure aux concepts et aux terminologies locales montrant ainsi la pluralité des formes à travers lesquelles les représentations cosmologiques, rituelles et divines sont reliées aux théories et aux pratiques de santé.
