Abstrakt: This article examines African diasporic healing, poisoning and ritual practice as captured in criminal and ecclesiastical trials and accusations, demonstrating how Black healers constructed their knowledge in the Caribbean and Pacific regions of New Granada. Through a connective and comparative approach, it argues that mobility played a central role in the constant creation and recirculation of African-descended healing knowledge in seemingly distinct spaces of the diaspora.
