Anthropology of Infectious Disease, Paperback / softback Book

Anthropology of Infectious Disease Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

This book synthesizes the flourishing field of anthropology of infectious disease in a critical, biocultural framework.

Leading medical anthropologist Merrill Singer holistically unites the behaviors of microorganisms and the activities of complex social systems, showing how we exist with pathogenic agents of disease in a complex process of co-evolution.

He also connects human diseases to larger ecosystems and various other species that are future sources of new human infections.

Anthropology of Infectious Disease integrates and advances research in this growing, multifaceted area and offers an ideal supplement to courses in anthropology, public health, development studies, and related fields.
