Paperback. Condition: New. Situated at the crossroads between the history of colonialism, of modern Southeast Asia, and of medical pluralism, this history of medicine and health traces the life of pharmaceuticals in Vietnam under French rule. Laurence Monnais examines the globalization of the pharmaceutical industry, looking at both circulation and consumption, considering access to drugs and the existence of multiple therapeutic options in a colonial context. She argues that colonialism was crucial to the worldwide diffusion of modern medicines and speaks to contemporary concerns regarding over-reliance on pharmaceuticals, drug toxicity, self-medication, and the accessibility of effective medicines. Retracing the steps by which pharmaceuticals were produced and distributed, readers meet the many players in the process, from colonial doctors to private pharmacists, from consumers to various drug traders and healers. Yet this is not primarily a history of medicines as objects of colonial science, but rather a history of medicines as tools of social change.…

Hardback. Condition: New. The transnational migration of health care practitioners has become a critical issue in global health policy and ethics. Doctors beyond Borders provides an essential historical perspective on this international issue, showing how foreign-trained doctors have challenged - and transformed - health policy and medical practice in countries around the world. Drawing on a wide variety of sources, from immigration records and medical directories to oral histories, the contributors study topics ranging from the influence of South Asian doctors on geriatric medicine in the United Kingdom to the Swedish reaction to the arrival of Jewish physicians fleeing Nazi Germany and the impact of the Vietnam War on the migration of doctors to Canada. Combining social history, the history of health and medicine, and immigration history, Doctors beyond Borders is an impressive selection of essays on a topic that continues to have global relevance. …

Couverture souple. Condition: Comme neuf. Edition originale. Paris , 2014. 1 Volume/1. -- Comme Neuf -- Broché collé. Format 23,8 x 15,7 cm ( 552 gr ). ------ 359 pages . **************************** 4ème de Couverture : "" Le Viêt-nam, dans le cadre de l'Indochine, fut l'objet d'une expérience appuyée de l'impérialisme moderne et de la colonisation à la française y compris dans le domaine de la santé. De fait, si la colonie ne devait pas coûter à la métropole, elle devait fournir une main-d' uvre productive, donc en bonne santé physique et mentale. Les Vietnamiens ne pouvaient pas pour autant revendiquer un « droit à la santé ». Il s'agissait tout au plus d'un devoir moral pour la France de « faire au mieux » de ses capacité dans le domaine. Quelle place pouvait tenir le médicament dans ce contexte, à l'heure de l'avènement de l'industrie pharmaceutique moderne ? L'idée que le Viêt-nam a servi de laboratoire d'expérimentation, à l'abri des regards métropolitains, n'est ni nouvelle ni révolutionnaire ; l'emploi empirique, parfois désastreux, de médicaments pour tenter de soigner certaines maladies tropicales fut aussi une réalité. Il s'agit toutefois davantage dans cet ouvrage de mettre en relief ce que l'on ignore du médicament en contexte de colonisation : le peu d'intérêt que lui portaient les médecins (convaincus que la prévention de masse était plus civilisatrice et somme toute encore très sceptiques face à des produits souvent peu efficaces ou trop toxiques et onéreux) et, par contraste, l'engouement dont certains remèdes furent l'objet auprès de la population colonisée qui n'hésiterait alors pas à les adapter à ses attentes et à ses désirs. Le médicament colonial, porteur d'une véritable autonomie, aurait ainsi, et contre toute attente, participé à la médicalisation du Viêt-nam et à une réinvention de ses repères en santé.
