In this important collection, prominent scholars who helped to
establish medical anthropology as an area of study reflect on the
field's past, present, and future. In doing so, they demonstrate
that medical anthropology has developed dynamically, through its
intersections with activism, with other subfields in anthropology,
and with disciplines as varied as public health, the biosciences,
and studies of race and ethnicity. Each of the contributors
addresses one or more of these intersections. Some trace the
evolution of medical anthropology in relation to fields including
feminist technoscience, medical history, and international and area
studies. Other contributors question the assumptions underlying
mental health, global public health, and genetics and genomics,
areas of inquiry now central to contemporary medical anthropology.
Essays on the field's engagements with disability studies, public
policy, and gender and sexuality studies illuminate the commitments
of many medical anthropologists to public-health and human-rights
activism. Essential reading for all those interested in medical
anthropology, this collection offers productive insight into the
field and its future, as viewed by some of the world's leading
medical anthropologists.
