The Land Is Dying: Contingency, Creativity and Conflict in Western Kenya
ISBN: 9780857457936 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 444 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

The epidemic of HIV/AIDS affects every aspect of sociality and pervades villagers' debates about the past, the future and the ethics of everyday life.

The Land Is Dying: Contingency, Creativity and Conflict in Western Kenya
ISBN: 9781845454814 / Twarda / 2010 / 444 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Based on several years of ethnographic fieldwork, the book explores life in and around a Luo-speaking village in western Kenya during a time of death: the epidemic of HIV/AIDS, which by the turn of the century had affected every aspect of sociality and pervaded villagers' debates about the past, the future and the ethics of everyday life. Central to such debates is a concern with touch in the broad sense of concrete, material contact between persons. In mundane practices as much as in ritual acts, touch is considered to be key to the creation of bodily life as well as social continuity....

Medical research has been central to biomedicine in Africa for over a century, and Africa, along with other tropical areas, has been crucial to the development of medical science.

With contributions from anthropologists, sociologists and activists, this approach brings into focus the forms of value -- social, epistemic, and economic -- that are involved in medical research practices and how these values intersect with everyday living.
