Knowledge, Power, and Practice : The Anthropology of Medicine and Everyday Life Paperback / softback
Edited by Shirley Lindenbaum, Margaret M. Lock
Part of the Comparative Studies of Health Systems and Medical Care series
Paperback / softback
Description
These original essays, which combine theoretical argument with empirical observation, constitute a state-of-the-art 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.
Professionals in behavioral medicine, public health, and epidemiology as well as medical anthropologists will find their insights significant.
