Description

Explore the deep symbolic power and social meaning of blood in Janet Carsten's Blood Work: Life and Laboratories in Penang. Part of the Lewis Henry Morgan Lectures series, this book examines how blood moves through a complex network of donors, laboratories, hospitals, and patients in Malaysia. Carsten provides a detailed look at the motivations of blood donors and the bureaucratic systems that manage them, including paperwork and payment processes. By following the journey of blood, the text reveals how the work performed by lab staff reflects the broader social, cultural, and political dynamics of modern Malaysia. This study offers a unique perspective on the relationship between medical processes and human connection within a contemporary setting.
