Reviewer: Prof. Fayth M. Parks
Reviews the film, The Last King of Scotland directed by Kevin Macdonald (2006). This is an intense film with an outstanding portrayal of Idi Amin, the legendary and infamous president of Uganda. Director Kevin Macdonald mixes fact with fiction in this film adaptation of British author Giles Foden\u27s (1998) best selling novel. The film foregrounds the story of Scottish doctor Nicholas Garrigan\u27s awakening to the complex and brutal reality that colonial occupation has left as its legacy to Africa. This movie is beautifully filmed on location in Uganda. The texture of urban and rural community life are presented in the film. Macdonald does an exceptional piece of work illustrating the fear and insecurity that became a way of life for Ugandans under Amin\u27s government as thousands of people disappeared. The character Garrigan awakens to the brutal reality and tries to escape Uganda alive. Idi Amin\u27s dissolution to evil is essential to see in this film. The story captures the imagination and mesmerizes the viewer. Essentially, the evil that transformed Amin\u27s character is wickedness that lives on in the evil deeds of others.

African-Americans have maintained for generations traditional folk beliefs and practices for healing physical illness and psychological distress. This system, grounded in West African traditions, is known, among other names, as rootmedicine. Transforming West African cultural traditions and adopting to New World conditions, rootmedicine was developed as a response to the need for social structure for enslaved Africans during the 18th and 19th centuries.

Rootmedicine offers explanation for misf01tune and illness and a illnnes by which those who believe can gain control over forces affecting their lives.El diagnóstico y tratamiento de problemas psicológicos en clientes que son minorías étnicas, supone que los proveedores de servicios psicológicos tienen que entender el papel que la etnia y la cultura juegan cuando se aplican creencias y prácticas que no son del oeste. Los afro-americanos en los EE.UU. mantuvieron por generaciones creencias y prácticas de salud tradicionales para curar enfermedades físicas y psicológicas. Transformando tradiciones culturales del oeste de África y adoptando condiciones del Nuevo Mundo, los afro-americanos desarrollaron sistemas o métodos curativos típicos o tradicionales, como una respuesta ante la necesidad de tener una estructura social mientras eran esclavos, durante los siglos decimoctavo y decimonono. Este sistema curativo integra la cultura y religiones del oeste de África con tradiciones típicas indígenas y europeas y con expresiones religiosas cristianas. Es una medicina tradicional que ofrece explicaciones para el infortunio y la enfermedad, a quienes creen en ella, dando medios para obtener control sobre las fuerzas que afectan sus vidas
