of all for its taste in theoretical ingenuity and the most
compelling, memorable writing in contemporary medical
anthropology."
—George Marcus, University of California, Irvine
"A Reader in Medical Anthropology is uniquely successful
in assembling seminal publications representing the century-long
history of medical anthropology. It is the first collection to
successfully combine the diverse perspectives, epistemologies, and
topical interests of contemporary medical anthropology with its
intellectual wellsprings."
—Allan Young, McGill University
"This collection of classic and innovative essays adds lustre
and new, surprising facets to the anthropology of medicine. It
crystallizes the most important and compelling cultural analysis of
human disease and social suffering, personal trauma, and global
insecurity."
