330 .. $a "The Routledge Handbook of Medical Anthropology provides a contemporary overview of
the key themes in medical anthropology. In this exciting departure from conventional
handbooks, compendia and encyclopedias, the three editors have written the core chapters
of the volume, and in so doing, invite the reader to reflect on the ethnographic richness
and theoretical contributions of research on the clinic and the field, bioscience
and medical research, infectious and non-communicable diseases, biomedicine, complementary
and alternative modalities, structural violence and vulnerability, gender and ageing,
reproduction and sexuality. As a way of illustrating the themes, a rich variety of
case studies are included, presented by over 60 authors from around the world, reflecting
the diverse cultural contexts in which people experience health, illness, and healing.
Each chapter and its case studies are introduced by a photograph, reflecting medical
and visual anthropological responses to inequality and vulnerability. An indispensible
reference in this fastest growing area of anthropological study, The Routledge Handbook
of Medical Anthropology is a unique and innovative contribution to the field."--Back
