Knowledge, Power & Practice – The Anthropology of Medicine & Everyday Life: The Anthropology of Medicine and Everyday Life: 36 (Comparative Studies of Health Systems and Medical Care) - Hardcover
Synopsis
These original essays, which combine theoretical argument with empirical observation, constitute a platform for future research in medical anthropology. Ranging in time and locale, the essays are based on research in historical and cultural settings. The contributors accept the notion that all knowledge is socially and culturally constructed and examine the contexts in which that knowledge is produced and practiced in medicine, psychiatry, epidemiology and anthropology.
