Descripción de contraportada

"This volume brings together internationally renowned scholars to tackle some of the most important and pressing issues currently debated in the social sciences. Ethnographically and historically rich, these essays go beyond synthesis of scholarly information; they seek to reframe medical anthropology and the discipline of anthropology overall."--Janet Carsten, Professor of Social and Cultural Anthropology, University of Edinburgh

"This remarkable book achieves the perfect balance in advancing its fields of study in exciting and sometimes unexpected directions while providing an invaluable classroom companion. A major contribution not only to medical anthropology and to science, technology, and society studies but also to anthropology and social theory as a whole."--Jacob Copeman, author of Veins of Devotion: Blood Donation and Religious Experience in North India
