ISBN: 9780804719711 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. This is a lively and original book, which treats Western biomedical discourse about illness in Africa as a cultural system that constructed -the African- out of widely varying, and sometimes improbable, materials.

What are the problems of rural food supply in southern Africa today and how have they arisen historically?
