Description

In the domain of health, the relation between bodies, citizenship, nations and governments has changed beyond recognition over the past four decades, especially in Africa.

In many regions, populations are now faced with a total lack of medical care, and the disciplinary regimes of modernity are faint memories.

In this situation, new critical insights beyond the critique of old "modernization" and the "disciplinary regimes" of imperial times are needed.

How can we keep up our sophisticated criticism of knowledge regimes and our doubts with regard to narratives of development, when so many people in Africa are dreaming about modernity and are envisioning their own renaissance?
