Since the turn of the century Singapore has sustained a reputation
for both austere governance and cutting-edge biomedical facilities
and research. Seeking to emphasize Singapore's capacity for "modern
medicine" and strengthen their burgeoning biopharmaceutical
industry, this image has explicitly excluded Chinese medicine -
despite its tremendous popularity amongst Singaporeans from all
walks of life, and particularly amongst Singapore's ethnic Chinese
majority. This book examines the use and practice of Chinese
medicine in Singapore, especially in everyday life, and contributes
to anthropological debates regarding the post-colonial intersection
of knowledge, identity, and governmentality, and to transnational
studies of Chinese medicine as a permeable, plural, and fluid
practice.
