Borderless Realms: Examining Healing Traditions, Cultivating Identity, and Cultural Resilience in Black Studies

Abstract

The study contends that amid the myriad challenges posed by globalization, modernity, racial discrimination, and global culture shifts, African Traditional Healing Art not only persists but thrives globally as a way of maintaining cultural identity in Africa and the Diaspora. Employing a robust textual analysis methodology, this research scrutinizes a diverse range of sources, including both local and international literature, and narratives. Through an interdisciplinary lens grounded in Black Studies, the paper aims to unveil the enduring strength and adaptability of African traditional healing art, demonstrating cultural resilience in the face of evolving global dynamics. The findings contribute valuable insights to the discourse on the intersectionality of healing traditions, identity cultivation, and cultural resilience in the expansive realm of Black Studies.
