Description

Explore the complex reality of global health through an anthropological lens. While plagues were once viewed as relics of the ancient past, modern concerns about global pandemics have brought these issues to the forefront of public discussion. This volume from the Wenner-Gren International Symposium Series provides a deep look into how diseases move through different environments and societies. Readers are taken to various locations where epidemics are currently erupting, waning, or have already disappeared. The text also examines areas where diseases have not yet arrived but follow a concerning trajectory. By looking at public health bureaucracies and the political arenas where decisions are made, the book examines how authorities define what constitutes an epidemic. Through a study of global history, the authors uncover long-term disease trends to help explain our current health landscape. This book is an essential resource for those interested in the history and social impact of infectious diseases.
