Description

Explore the complex landscape of popular healing in South Asia with this academic study from Routledge. This book investigates how traditional healing practices are marginalized by state and medical establishments, even as they remain vital to the daily lives of the poor. By examining the concept of subaltern therapeutics, the text analyzes how these practices interact with and resist elite, state-sanctioned medical systems. This work looks at the historical and ongoing relationship between formal medicine and those practicing in the shadows of the state. It provides a detailed look at the ways people attempt to heal outside of mainstream structures. For students, researchers, and readers interested in colonial and postcolonial histories, this book offers a deep look at the social and medical realities of the region.
