Re-orients medical anthropology by means of a political economic contextualization of its field of study and application, and by way of a re-focus on power and inequality as central explanatory factors. Supplies a critique of postmodern medical anthropology, and discusses health-related issues at the macro-social level, the intermediate- social level, the micro-social level, and the individual level. Topics include the political economy of nuclear regulation, AIDS and the urban poor, and African-American spiritual churches. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
