This book describes community ophthalmology professionals in South
Asia who demonstrate social entrepreneurship in global health to
help the rural poor. Their innovations contested economic and
scientific norms, and spread from India and Nepal outwards to other
countries in Africa and Asia, as well as the United States,
Australia, and Finland. This feminist postcolonial global
ethnography illustrates how these innovations have resulted in dual
socio-technical systems to solve the problem of avoidable
blindness. Policymakers and activists might use this example of how
to avoid Schumacher's critique of low labor, large scale and
implement Gandhi's philosophy of good for all.
