Anthropology in the Making: Research in Health and Development - Routledge Studies in Anthropology
Vidal, Laurent (Institut de Recherche pour le Developpement, France)
In Anthropology in the Making, Laurent Vidal takes the reader into the world of research in the fields of health and development, providing a fresh and provocative perspective on the practice of anthropology. This volume investigates the ?science of otherness? across four multi-disciplinary research projects in Africa, examining the practices of health workers, the behaviors of patients, and the organization and management of health systems struggling with AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. Balancing epistemological considerations with the practical concerns thrown up by real-life situations, Vidal explores the researcher?s choices - of method, objective, and terrain.
