Author: Projit Bihari MukharjiISBN: 9780857289957Publisher: Anthem PressYear first published: 01 Jan 2011Pages: 368 Format: Paperback / softbackThis book seeks to move emphasis awa y from the over-riding importance given to the state in existing studies of 'western' medicine in India, and locates medical practice within its cultural, social and professional milieus. Based on Bengali doctors writings this book examines how various medical problems, challenges and debates were understood and interpreted within overlapping contexts of social identities and politics on the one hand, and their function within a largely unregulated medical market on the other.
