at medicine I used?” He spoke incredulously, as if he could not believe his old friends could so betray him. Mr. Farquar began explaining how a useful medicine could be made out of the root, and how it could be put on sale, and how thousands of people … could be saved by the medicine. … [T]hey all realized he would never give in. The magical drug would remain where it was, unknown and useless except for the tiny scattering of Africans who had the knowledge … power and wisdom. How does cultural conflict influence Gideon’s actions in Doris Lessing’s “No Witchcraft for Sale”? Gideon leaves his position as a servant to become a healer. Gideon decides not to serve a family that will not honor his customs. Gideon refuses to give up a power his people have that the whites do not. Gideon helps the scientist make trouble for the Farquars.
