Medicine, Mobility, and Power in Global Africa
Transnational Health and Healing
Edited by Hansjörg Dilger, Abdoulaye Kane, and Stacey A. Langwick
"This interesting and timely volume shows how African health issues can no longer be thought of as being sealed within Africa—that transnational flows are fundamentally shaping health practices." —Mark
Hunter, University of Toronto Scarborough
Recent political, social, and economic changes in Africa have provoked radical shifts in the landscape of health and healthcare.
Medicine, Mobility, and Power in Global Africa captures the multiple dynamics of a globalized world and its impact on medicine, health, and the delivery of healthcare in Africa--and beyond. Essays by an international group of contributors take on intractable
problems such as HIV/AIDS, malaria, and insufficient access to healthcare, drugs, resources, hospitals, and technologies. The movements of people and resources described here expose the growing challenges of poverty and public health, but they also show how
new opportunities have been created for transforming healthcare and promoting care and healing.
