Description

Explore how epidemics shape societies across time and geography with this anthropological examination from Routledge's Wenner-Gren International Symposium Series. The book moves beyond historical assumptions that plagues belong solely to the ancient past, addressing contemporary global pandemic concerns through rigorous scholarly analysis. Authors investigate infected spaces by visiting regions where epidemics are actively spreading, declining, or have already subsided, whilst also examining areas preparing for potential outbreaks. The work scrutinises public health bureaucracies and political decision-making processes that determine what constitutes an epidemic, revealing how power structures influence health policy. Through historical investigation, contributors uncover disease trends and patterns that illuminate our understanding of infection's role in human societies, offering essential perspectives for comprehending modern health crises and their cultural dimensions.
