Remembered, Not Accused confronts a painful but often hidden crisis: older persons living with dementia may be feared, rejected, dispossessed, or attacked when changes in memory and behaviour are interpreted as witchcraft. Writing from the Zambian context, Christopher Kabwe Mukuka brings public health, Christian mission, Ubuntu ethics, cultural analysis, safeguarding, and law into a compassionate conversation. Through vivid reflections and practical guidance, the book explains dementia without ridiculing African beliefs and shows how families, churches, health workers, traditional leaders, and policymakers can replace suspicion with informed care. Its Dignity-Centred Community Response Model calls communities to Recognise change without accusation, Protect life and belonging, Assess health and social risks, Support caregivers and households, and Reform harmful narratives and systems. This is both a scholarly resource and a moral appeal to ensure that cognitive decline never cancels human dignity.
