Research into 'colonial' or 'imperial' medicine has made
considerable progress in recent years, whilst the study of what is
usually referred to as 'indigenous' or 'folk' medicine in colonized
societies has received much less attention. This book redresses the
balance by bringing together current critical research into medical
pluralism during the last two centuries. It includes a rich
selection of historical, anthropological and sociological
case-studies that cover many different parts of the globe, ranging
from New Zealand to Africa, China, South Asia, Europe and the USA.
