Description

This Routledge volume examines popular healing practices across South Asia and their complex relationship with state-sanctioned medicine and established medical establishments. The book investigates how subaltern therapeutics operate within and resist elite medical frameworks, serving as vital resources for everyday healthcare among lower-income populations. Through historical analysis and contemporary case studies, it documents the practices of healers working outside formal medical systems and explores how they address a wide range of health conditions. The work presents subaltern therapeutics not merely as marginalised or illegitimate, but as ongoing systems with their own logic, efficacy and cultural significance that coexist alongside state medicine. Essential reading for scholars of medical anthropology, South Asian history, postcolonial studies and alternative medicine practices.

Key Features

Examines historical trajectories and contemporary significance of healing practices for South Asian communities.

Documents practitioners who work outside state-sanctioned medical frameworks and their approaches to treating various conditions.
