A Critical and Cross-Cultural Reader.
This volume brings together key readings of significant moments in the understanding of health. It goes beyond the often superficial literature-review style of medical sociology texts. In doing so, this book presents a challenging array of classic and new material on the social basis of health, illness and healing.
The Reader incorporates many of the elements of the new medical anthropology and sociology of health and illness. It provides students with an introduction to the field and a critical insight into current debates.
Suitable for students of sociology of health and illness, medical sociology, cultural studies, medical anthropology, health studies and nursing studies; allied health professionals.
