Medical research has been central to biomedicine in Africa for over
a century, and Africa, along with other tropical areas, has been
crucial to the development of medical science. At present, study
populations in Africa participate in an increasing number of
medical research projects and clinical trials, run by both public
institutions and private companies. Global debates about the
politics and ethics of this research are growing and local concerns
are prompting calls for social studies of the "trial communities"
produced by this scientific work. Drawing on rich, ethnographic and
historiographic material, this volume represents the emergent field
of anthropological inquiry that links Africanist ethnography to
recent concerns with science, the state, and the culture of late
capitalism in Africa.
