This led me to consider the place of non-human actors in the history of the relationships between Christian medical humanitarians and Zambians in the region. At a time when anthropologists have begun to critique the association of whiteness with ‘biomedical expertise’ in many humanitarian organizations – organizations that continue to be ‘dominated by white European and American practitioners’ (Benton 2016,4 ) – it is discomfiting to find healing practices in postcolonial Zambia that involve non-human actors who physically resemble white humanitarians and who offer efficacious healing advice.
